THE AMERICANS
May 9, 2018  | By David Bianculli

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

Last week’s episode contained the most chilling TV husband-and-wife argument since the final season of The Sopranos, when Tony threw Carmela against a wall. There was no violence this time – though there was later, when Philip practice sparred with daughter Paige to demonstrate she wasn’t as adept a close-combat fighter as she thought she was – but the emotions, on both sides, were seething. And tonight, though Elizabeth has made it clear she has little use for Philip right now, he’s figured out she really does need him on her current mission, if she’s to survive – so even though he just thwarted one of her secret objectives, tonight he joins her on another. Meanwhile, as this series and series gets closer to ending, Stan gets closer to finding out the truth about his sleeper Soviet suburban neighbors.
