What's this?

I finished the Americans the other day. I enjoyed the last few episodes

up until about the last half of the last episode. Then it turned into a roughly 30 minute musical montage to wrap the series up.

One detail I noticed that I thought was awesome was when they'd show driving scenes and none of the characters would ever be wearing seat belts. That was a magnificently tiny but brilliant detail.

I've heard this is a great series, but I can't get into spies in the US -- WestyHokie 08/17/2018 08:51AM

There are emotional conflicts with this very thing - viewer & character -- Hokie Bird 94 08/17/2018 09:55AM

It definitely is done in a way that can make you sympathetic to the spies -- Hurley09 08/17/2018 08:59AM

Yup, you ended up invested in characters who were actually the bad guys -- Late 80s Hokie 08/17/2018 09:38AM

Same deal with Star Wars... -- JoesterVT 08/17/2018 10:14AM

And Karate Kid. -- vthokieq 08/17/2018 10:55AM

Sons of Anarchy was like that for me ** -- Betabeachbum 08/17/2018 09:57AM

I could do that w/The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, but not spies -- WestyHokie 08/17/2018 09:50AM

It is almost reversed in The Americans -- RTFC 08/17/2018 12:01PM

Philip does. She never really does EXCEPT insofar as she stays loyal to -- Late 80s Hokie 08/17/2018 12:45PM

Yeah, she wasn't going to be part of a revolution, but I also think -- RTFC 08/17/2018 4:39PM

Good point with Breaking Bad. I wasn't as wild about it as others on this -- Late 80s Hokie 08/17/2018 09:53AM

Working w/ Tuco or killing Crazy 8 all seemed like stuff Walt -- RhinoVT 08/17/2018 10:08AM
