In Season 4, The Americans settles into a routine
http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/t..._reviewed.html
The acclaimed FX series is showing its age this season, yet it’s still one of TV’s best shows, says Eric Thurm. This season, he says, “is a bit of a step down, especially from the near-perfect second and third seasons. Primarily, this is because at this point it’s gotten hard to hide the show’s carefully stitched seams from view. This season is an even slower burn than usual, with even more balls hanging in the air. PLUS: Kudos to The Americans for avoiding becoming slick and less intelligent, The Americans has helped reshape and deepen the storytelling potentials in marriage, how The Americans tells a unique part of the immigrant experience, creator Joe Weisberg hears about 80% positive and 20% negative from his former CIA colleagues, Alison Wright talks Martha’s evolution, and Holly Taylor on Paige’s predicament. |
