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.

(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

A show like this on a cable channel needs to be promoted on the broadcast networks so that people know it's there.

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.
