An interview with Matthew Rhys (Philip) in the Los Angeles Times.

An interview with Alison Wright (Martha) in Rolling Stone.

An interview with Holly Taylor (Paige) in Vulture.

An interview with Costa Ronin (Oleg) in Metro.

There's a The Americans recap video podcast being done by AfterBuzz, and the most recent one also has a guest spot by Costa Ronin (video, ~54 min). There's also an audio version of the podcast available here.

The Americans has come in at #2 in the new Hollywood Reporter "power rankings".

Recent data indicates that The Americans is the most time-shifted show of all in the U.S. (meaning that a larger percentage of our show's audience watches a recorded version of the show than is the case with any other show).

The official description of the finale has been released.

Better late than never, there's a Guardian review of the first season's box set.

And finally, FX has released a little mini-documentary about the show's vintage cars (visible only within the U.S.).

And besides, the idea of such "sleeper" or "illegal" agents has a kind of captivating aura about it and draws you in: what drives these people? How do they maintain their ideological drive amidst an entire people who are taught the diametric opposite of what the agents believe?

I mean, would these people be complaining if the illegals were hostile space aliens doing long-term reconaissance of human beings? :P

In their defense, such a show would have 'preposterous' written all over it.

But in any case, I'd expect the sentence "It sounds preposterous, but" to end with "it's based on real life". Not "Joe Weisberg is a CIA officer (so he must know something we don't)".

Wasn't UK also on the illegals list? Who knows, maybe one of them wrote this ;-)
