Comrades. All good things must come to an end. The American's Final Season thread.

That ending had me hype as fukk even though it was so fukking somber

Hit Em Up trying to safe his dad's business by going through his connections. We all knew Henry would've been a better agent than Paige

Liz is such an a$$hole, Henry came back after months and greeted him with a "hi" while smoking. Only when realizing she's doing a suicide mission did she remember she had a son.

Philth to the rescue...or maybe sabotage?

Did Phil tell Oleg about Chicago?

I'm not sure. Like, how much could Phil figure out by just going to the safe house and seeing random shyt? He mostly saw Liz cover as the nurse for the negotiation guy's sick wife. There's no way he knows anything about Chicago besides Liz being there.

Liz as the number one option is Westbrick status

I've been trying to figure out why this show is so slept on

If this was on Netflix I feel like this could have built up a following similar to Breaking Bad and had the world tuning into the final season. Not to that level but definitely more than it has at this point

The ratings for this show have always been low but I don't get this shyt

I'm from south america but The Americans doesn't seem to be the kind of show that would be a hit with US audiences

-Russians are the "good guys".
-A lot of subtitles in the first couple of seasons
-Way more of a character piece than spy games. Even though it has shootouts and sex, the show is about family and how fukking excruciating the spy life can be.
-It's very much a drama, there's very little fun on the show.
-Very few plot twists and fukkery. Show has very little shock value, and when it does have it, it takes a loooong time for it to happen.
-As others have pointed out, it's not a show that lends itself for binge watching.

Last two points are even a detriment for most casual audiences worldwide too.


I'm fine with the show being so low key. We got the story the show runners wanted to tell, that's the most we can ask as fans. The quality from this season has been outstanding too. Unless they completely fukk up the ending this is up there for me with shows like The Wire, Mad Men and Breaking Bad, I don't care if nobody else watched

Did Phil tell Oleg about Chicago?

i think that's why he's going. probably wants to get more info for oleg and maybe ensure elizabeth doesn't die.

I'm not sure why the easy answer isn't the answer here. This show isn't as good as it's small cult following likes to think it is. First 3 seasons were superb but the show has falling off something seriously IMO, the shyt just went on for to long. Individual performances have remain great but overall the show has been meh for some time.

 

[re'up]

What an episode....

The raw, ugly way Liz and Phil practically spat those lines at each other in the opening scenes....

Phil's continued breakdown, he can hardly lie anymore, he was about to break up telling the Thanksgving Day lie

How uncomfortable watching Liz hound her daughters one time lover, until she found the perfect way in

The phone conversations between Liz and Henry, and Phillip and Liz

As a family drama, it's the GOAT

What a show.

I was grinning like a fool listening to them bullshyt about Jules Dassin and Rififi. Kid is right, it's the goat. And that theater marquis gave me a film nerd hard-on
