How will The Americans' Final Season End? Q&A with the Creators Behind the Cold War Spy Drama
Reason.com ^ | March 26, 2018 | Nick Gillespie & Meredith Bragg

"We all struggle with questions of our true identity, our identity with our loved ones, and our public personas," says Joe Weisberg, the creator of FX's cold-war drama The Americans, which begins its final season on March 28, in an exclusive interview with Reason's Nick Gillespie. "In this final season, that all comes to a head for the characters, who have to deal with it in their careers as spies, challenging their loyalty to their family, but also testing it against their loyalty to one another in their marriage, and their loyalty to their country, and their core idealistic beliefs."

Looking forward to the season. Wondering though; will the complete season be uploaded tomorrow? Or, will one episode per week be uploaded? I’m a binge watcher so hoping the whole season will be uploaded at once.

Really hate to see it come to an end, one of the best shows I’ve ever seen on TV and one of the few I’ve even watched in recent years. I’m confident it will end in the same classy way that the entire series has been conducted. Really hoping they will consider a follow-on show of some sort.

Considering both have committed 1st degree murder numerous times, they should both be executed for their crimes.

However, with the elite media loving anything that is anti-American, both will probably be awarded the Order of Lenin and Hero of the Soviet Union medals in a military parade in Moscow plus an honorary Emmy in Los Angeles as the Greatest example of a TV series making Ronald Reagan the most evil enemy of all.

How could anyone in their right mind look at the two main characters (Communist spies and murderers) as ‘heroes’? I confess to watching the show but only to see the two arch villians get their just due. ..though it never seems to happen. The real ‘Americans ‘ in the show are portrayed as too rock-stupid to figure them out.

What will happen? Phillip and Elizabeth will stay in the us, study Alinsky method, and become card-carrying Democrat community organizers

Ditto that. I was wondering if it would go to the point that the Soviet Union collapsed, would Elizabeth still go back?

“What will happen? Phillip and Elizabeth will stay in the us, study Alinsky method, and become card-carrying Democrat community organizers.”

Entirely too close to the truth for comfort...

Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Jennings are complete scum in support of the Evil Empire Motherland. Both deserve to die by the sword.

Last season got pretty weird. My guess this season will conclude with Elizabeth, Philip and Stan all killing each other in a bloody shoot-out. All three of the children will run off together to join a hippy colony and grow up to become Democrat politicians.

It is one of the few TV shows I watch.

Also worth watching when it returns—Sci Fi’s “The Expanse”.

“...both will probably be awarded the Order of Lenin and Hero of the Soviet Union medals in a military parade in Moscow...”

Let me fix that:

“...both will probably be awarded the Order of Lenin and Hero of the Soviet Union medals in a Pride parade in San Francisco...”
