The Americans (review)


 While looking for another FX show to binge I kept seeing this one pop up with all the critics. It's the story of 2 Russian spies who live in America during the 80's.

Intrigued by the idea and never seeing an FX show I didn't like, I decided to give it a try. 

It's so-so. 

The series has a lot of interesting ideas but struggles to balance their characters out. Some story arcs of totally forgotten about and dropped completely like the writers just got tired of where the story was going and instead of figuring out a way to wrap things up, just abandoned it completely. 

Sad to see so much potential squandered away on a show I would never recommend but bemoan the dismal disregard to a story which could have been epic.
