THE AMERICANS
May 11, 2016  | By David Bianculli

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

I fully expected someone to die in last week’s episode – it just wasn’t the person I expected. And now that Elizabeth (Keri Russell) has lashed out after being trapped in a corner, now she and Philip have to deal with those consequences, while still reeling from the aftershocks of their other current spy operation. And tonight, they and their children also watch the 1983 ABC made-for-TV movie The Day After, a Cold War-era nightmare fantasy scenario in which the Soviet Union drops a nuclear bomb on the Midwestern U.S. –a perfect microcosm for the tensions dramatized in this period series.
