![]() Libby Nelson: Todd, you’ve watched far, far more TV than I have, so I’m wondering: Is The Americans really on a historically unrivaled hot streak of episodes right now, or does it just feel that way in the moment? I can’t think of a serious wrong note or a clunker plot line since the final episodes of the second season.īut if I had a single critique of season three, it’s that it felt a bit too well-oiled I didn’t believe the most dire threats were real because making good on them would require too much of a structural shakeup. For a little bit, the world of The Americans opened up, and it only felt more confining.

Mostly, though, I think we'll recall how keyed-in Rhys and Keri Russell - who have been moving on parallel tracks all season and haven't really interacted until now - were during this episode, which amounts to one long fight between them. When we look back on this show in the decades to come, thinking about its finest hours, I can't help but imagine that we'll revisit many moments from this episode, from that nearly wordless, heart-rending prologue to that scene where Philip and Elizabeth argue about est but aren't really arguing about est from the look of relief on Matthew Rhys's face when Gabriel grants Philip and Elizabeth a reprieve to the graceful transition from now to "7 months later," which overcame the potential hackiness of a time jump.
