Question of the week #55
The Americans has received widespread critical acclaim, but has thus far failed to grow an audience equal to the size of a lot of other "prestige dramas." What do you think the reasons are for that?
You can expect spoilers for the entire first three seasons in the comments.

(Anonymous) 2015-07-25 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)Treon mentioned that is has become more depressing. I agree. Also, the show runners and lead actors have always talked about it being primarily a relationship drama, but season 3 had very little to do with the relationship between Phillip and Elizabeth. I think people want to see what's going on with them.
Also, let's get Nina back home. I really disliked the whole storyline of Nina in jail in Russia. Boring, depressing, no interaction with other main characters. Show writers...please fix that.
