  • The Americans "Mutually Assured Destruction" Review: Stranger Danger

    This literally explosive eighth installment (because bombs) saw the KGB tasking the Jennings with neutralizing its own hard-to-find hired killer, and Phillip attempting to apologize his way out of the doghouse with his wife.

    • Mutually Assured

      6.0
      Another painfully slow-moving episode of The Americans here, and they did not even have any drama. Not only was there a lack of drama, but there was a lack of action, deceit, trickery, and everything that makes the show what it is.



      Maybe 13 episodes was a bad idea for this kind of series.
