Americans fans have been divided over what the right ending for Philip and Elizabeth should be. What does “punishment” look like in this context? “You’re watching this couple go through the series and you’re rooting for them, but you want them to pay in some way for what they’ve done. And [the writers] chose the most painful way for them to pay,” R...
Fittingly, The Americans concludes with Philip and Elizabeth alone, together, having only each other to rely on. It gets to the very core of the series, but those final moments also leave a lot for us to wonder about how the two may continue given the trauma they just survived. “It’s pretty devastating what the loss of children would do to a marria...
Stan Beeman. What a scene. What a choice! Noah Emmerich has always been phenomenal in this role as an FBI agent who suspects, but ultimately doesn’t really believe (until now) that he has spies living next door who are also his best friends. The show waited a long timefor this revelation to happen, where Stan is confronted with the cold hard facts ...
Another major emotional whammy in this finale was Paige’s (Holly Taylor) decision to abandon her parents and remain in the U.S. What is her plan, exactly? What should we take from that final vodka-filled scene in Claudia’s now empty apartment? Fields was mostly mum on the matter, “unfortunately, I think that's another one where the intent is really...

One of the The Americans' most defining features was those wigs over the years, with Rhys admitting that “if I never wear another wig in my life it’ll be too soon.” But as for any favorites, he told us that “There was a guy, he kind of appeared first in the pilot episode of the first season, and he had kind of long hair and a moustache and a little...
Both Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys said that the most difficult scene to film in the finale was saying goodbye to Henry (Keidrich Sellati) over the payphone. It was also the last scene for that episode they filmed. “You know as a new father just … it came very easily to kind of put yourself in that situation and go ‘I can’t even fathom doing this t...
“If anything we would kind of say, well this is the year to get out because maybe people won’t be so sympathetic anymore,” Russell told us in regards to how the show seems to be relating more and more to current events, even though it takes place in the past. “It didn’t affect because our show isn’t just a political show, it’s really a show about r...
