"After two years of gathering dread," says Andy Greenwald, "The Americans morphed into a perpetual heart attack in its third season (http://www.tvinsider.com/article/1480/cbs-will-say-goodbye-to-letterman-with-a-90-minute-primetime-special/). Every scene felt as if it could explode into murder or collapse into dust. But though horrific things do happen — the broken body in the suitcase, the cracked tooth in Elizabeth's mouth, the burning tire around a dying man's neck — they rarely result in anything approaching resolution."
