The Americans - Season 5 Review
by iwantmycookies | created - 12 Mar 2017 | updated - 03 Aug 2017 | PublicSeason rating - 8-great
Highlight episode - Dyatkovo
MVP - Matthew Rhys
Another slow, plodding season full of seemingly inconsequential drama. However, the acting is, as always, great, and hopefully the final 10 episodes hone in on the endgame for the Jennings and gives us something truly exciting because this season was rather underwhelming.
