THE AMERICANS
April 11, 2018  | By David Bianculli

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

Tonight’s episode is called “Urban Transit Planning,” which refers to the new job by a veteran Soviet character on this series, who’s returning to the U.S. to take a graduate school class in that sociological discipline. That’s his cover story, anyway. What he’s really in the States to do is persuade a Soviet spy in this country to spy on one of his own – which ends up adding even more tension to the already fraught relationship of sleeper agents Philip and Elizabeth. For a full review on this new season of The Americans, up to and including tonight’s episode, see the TVWW Guest Contributor Blog by James Heinzen, professor of History at Rowan University, who specializes in Russian history and who, at one point lived in Moscow for a few years.
