Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

cetopfed 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.

margherita-rapin I love espionage films/shows, and I was really excited when I found out this one. But disappointment was quickly around the corner. I'm afraid it's a rough piece of work, no deep insights, only superficial entertainement following a stiff scheme, episode after episode. Elizabeth is the gutsy one, ok, but Philip is so pliable, so weak with her I wonder how he can have the stomach to do his job. As for Paige, hahaha, since when spycraft is passed down from generation to generation as a disease or physical features? Or is it to show how the Soviet Russians could brainwash even their own children for the cause, which btw is not true, because they knew that a good spy is a freely committed one? Dear oh dear... Want to watch a really breathcatching, well crafted spy show? Go for The Bureau, Berlin Station, or Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (the mini-serie with Alec Guinness)

anthonyturno 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

sroj91 *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.
