The Americans is a beautifully dark descent into the world during the Cold War, with some truly fantastically written characters, brought to life by brilliant performances across the board.
I love almost every aspect of this show, and am so disappointed that I can't give it a 10/10, but there is one reason that I just can't give it full marks...Paige.
Simply put, the character of Paige completely kills this show. Every time it builds pace, her annoying presence derails it. To begin with you can understand why she's such an annoying brat, but it gets so old, so fast.
If Paige had been written out of the show at early-mid season 4, it would have been perfect. Sadly they allowed her to continue the onslaught that murdered the interest I could hold in this story.
