As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Horrible accents, people pretending to smoke, all around bad acting and crappy writing. I tried hard to like this series but it was so implausible.

This is a really underrated series.
It's a lot more subtle than other series in many ways. There is a lot of emotion, and there was never any bad acting.
Ending was acceptable (no show really has a amazing ending that everyone can agree on)
I wish they looked at a certain character more but apparently he isn't very important.

Every season except the 5th ( season 6 pending), is exceptionall. Great acting and an often scary story. This show fits well in the Golden age of cable drama. The plays with you forcing the viewer to root for the bad guy. I especially loved the first three seasons. Definitely above the level of standard commercial TV. This show is something else. I highly recommend it

*Note: for the ones who says it is slow, it is deliberately paced and focused on great character development
* for the ones complaining that there is too much action, the show heavily changes in late season 2 and later in season 3 to focus more on character dev. IT IS WORTH IT, STICK WITH IT.This will be remembered as one of the Great(est) Dramas of all time. What a final season... The acting is superb (their faces can tell many words), the writing is poetic and stays true to the series, the directing is excellent in this season as well, and needless to say the sound design and score are on point. The show stays logical (maybe too logical for some), and its careful approach to developing the characters can feel slow at times, but when you recognize what they are doing and pay attention, it is very well worth the time.I think many of the quibbles some fans have is that we have become used to expect shows to go a certain way, and when we can change the direction of the show we get annoyed. No, not all shows need to go into fan-service mode. The Americans started and ended as a story about marriage, relationships and loyalty first, and spy-craft and action second. The show doesn't need explosions to reach dramatic superlatives. And, we honestly shouldn't expect this show to just go do what other shows did (would be boring and they would probably fail at topping them) - mainly talking about Breaking Bad since people love to compare subjective art. And, in The Americans, characters are conflicted and complex, so expect them to surprise you and behave like real people.If you re-watch the show with this in mind, it becomes a much richer and better experience (I did just before S6 started). And, it is truly a show that gets better each time (there are so many things I missed the first time around). The Americans, I will miss you a whole bunch... There are few other shows attempting long arc story dramas anymore, and the ones that are left are focusing on world building and huge CGI productions.* for the ones complaining about Paige, FU... This is one of the best arches of recent memory. Taylor embodies this character and it makes sense given all the stuff she has been through.
