    In the interests of completeness, I've stuck with the Americans through all 6 seasons even though to be perfectly honest the novelty and originality of the concept passed around season 3 never to return.

    Frankly, a little boredom sets in at times. ... 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. Season 6 so far is rife with both possibilities.

    Happily, the show has evolved in how it deals with its central concerns. ... Even at its less-well-loved moments, The Americans is still better than practically anything else around.
