When we last saw Elizabeth and Philip Jennings (Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys), their craft was taking its toll. Besides, The Americans is a drama about the Cold War, and we all know how that ends for that period and how, in 2018, the word “Russia” seems to be ominously everywhere (giving this series an intriguingly twisted place in history - far different from what could have been predicted when it launched in January 2013).īut a couple of elements are unavoidable to the discussion and won’t take away much from the experience. And honestly, with only three episodes to judge from, all the truly enormous twists have yet to be seen, so realistically there’s not much to spoil (and does anyone want to do that anyway?). Viewers are all over the map on what they consider to be a spoiler, so all a critic can do in a situation like this - watching the last moves of a complicated chess match, the strands of a long-building pattern emerging for its last reveal - is to promise to hew more toward appreciation than actual review.
