A role model for any television series. [Full review in Spanish]

The Americans, like its protagonists, has been in disguise, a searching psychological drama dressed up as a kicky action play.

The Americans talks far more eloquently about politics and history than I imagined it would when it started... Good for The Americans to have so presciently anticipated a cultural shift and so engagingly explored it.

This terrific series promises to end with a triumphant bang - don't miss it.

The Americans is still a show viewers can sink into and enjoy as an escape from the world without having to stress over any parallels.

Dread's a powerful thing. It's at work in every season of The Americans, but never as strongly as it is this season.

The Americans is full of great musical notes that carry complexity beyond pure sonic pleasure. But it's also just-plain fun sometimes.

The Americans, menacing as ever in its reserve, won't spell out whether it's a charmed totem or a cursed amulet.

The cinematography has always been top-notch. So has the acting. But there are hints here that all these characters, whose stubborn myopias we've come to know, are being forced to see differently.

One marvelous and heartbreaking hour into its 10-episode final season, a happy ending for anyone in the Jennings family seems so far away.

How The Americans resolves their fates will be key to whether this series is remembered as a superbly rendered morality tale or a distinct disappointment after setting its bar so high.

The Americans ends even more impressively than it began.

If you've fallen away from the series because you miss the process-y spy stuff, be advised that it's back with a vengeance, here in the home stretch. Yes, the show's about issues of trust and support, but it's still got a serious body count.

Weisberg and Fields have... set the season at a pivotal enough point in history that everything is driving toward one day on the calendar, in a way the show has never quite matched before.

The good stuff is the Jennings family drama -- the way they behave with each other and present themselves to the world around them.
