Little more information about this season.
The upcoming season will highlight several of the years (1983) historical moments: including President Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars Speech, David Copperfield making the Statue of Liberty disappear, and the debut of the landmark TV movie, The Day After.
In addition to dealing with Paige’s discovery, the Jennings will be facing another major danger. As Fields also revealed, the upcoming Season 4 will place an emphasis on “bio-weapons and the danger of them getting out and killing everyone on the planet,” he said. “For both of them, the danger of those bio-weapons is going to loom very large.”
We recently heard from the executive producer of FX’s other series The Americans, Joel Fields, who also mentioned the 1980s spy drama has a timeline for when the team would like the show to end. Here’s what he had to say at the TCA winter press tour.
"What we do know is that if you were to think of it as a three-act story structure, it feels like we’re coming toward the end of the second act. Whether it takes a fifth season or a sixth or fifth season to tell the rest of that story, we’ll discover as we start to dig into next season’s work."

Anyone ever hear of the movie "The Day After"?
After seeing it is going to be part of this season I looked it up.
The Day After is an American television film that first aired on November 20, 1983, on the ABC television network. More than 100 million people (in 2015 NCIS averaged 16.8 million people) had seen the program during its initial broadcast. It is currently the highest-rated television film in history.
The film postulates a fictional war between NATO forces and the Warsaw Pact that rapidly escalates into a full-scale nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union. However, the action itself focuses on the residents of Lawrence, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri, as well as several family farms situated near nuclear missile silos.
Reaction
On its original broadcast (Sunday, November 20, 1983), ABC and local TV affiliates opened 1-800 hotlines with counselors standing by. There weren't any commercial breaks after the nuclear attack. ABC then aired a live debate, hosted by Nightline's Ted Koppel.
Effects on policymakers
President Ronald Reagan watched the film several days before its screening, on November 5, 1983. He wrote in his diary that the film was "very effective and left me greatly depressed,"[16] and that it changed his mind on the prevailing policy on a "nuclear war".
The film also had impact outside the U.S. In 1987, during the era of Mikhail Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika reforms, the film was shown on Soviet television. Four years earlier, Georgia Rep. Elliott Levitasand 91 co-sponsors introduced a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives "[expressing] the sense of the Congress that the American Broadcasting Company, the Department of State, and the U.S. Information Agency should work to have the television movie The Day After aired to the Soviet public."
I was born in 1983
. Never heard of this movie at all. Can't image what it would have been like to actually watch this movie when it first came out.

Easily one of the most underrated shows on tv. It can be slow at times, but it's cooked crack. Expect lying, sleeping around to get what you need from someone, & cold blooded killing.
Metacritic scores for it.
Season 1: 78 & User 8.4
Season 2: 88 & User 8.5
Season 3: 92 & User 8.3

I was born in 1983
I'm old enough to have been SCARED TO DEATH by it as a child. I'll never forget the bomb scenes with the people getting vaporized or skeletonized. After "The Day After" came out, every thunderstorm seemed like it was the end of the world. At the time, we didn't think of it like a Sci Fi movie. We thought it was going to happen eventually.
90's kids have no idea what it's like to believe that the entire world could end at any minute without warning.
