“The Americans” New Season Premieres
I wish I could add to the chorus of praise greeting last night’s episode, the debut of the show’s new season starring Keri Russell (pictured). The series, as you may know, is about two Soviet spies who have raised children in America during the Reagan-Era Cold War. Last night, they are now struggling not only with their jobs but their fractured homelife as well. But “The Americans” remains too chilly for me to get very engaged: I know that’s part of the point but it keeps me at a remove. And why watch another episode? Facebook friends keep me up-to-date.
