shapinglight...which we weren't really, but anyway, The Americans wrapped up this week.
I belong to a wonderful community here on DW that has been discussing the series from the beginning and have said most of what I have to say on there, but just want to say on my own journal that The Americans has been superlative. It's hardly put a foot wrong in six whole seasons (I say hardly, there have been a few things not so great, but they haven't detracted from the whole) and it ended as it's gone along.
Why it hasn't won a host of TV awards I'll never know. IMO, it's one of the best TV series I've ever seen. What's more, because of its period setting it'll never, ever date.
Wonderful stuff. If you've yet to discover it, I envy you, because I wish I could watch it for the first time again.
That said, it'll bear repeated viewing. And I intend to do just that very soon.
