The Morning After: "The Americans" Finale
The morning after and I can’t stop thinking about this finale. The psychic damage was profound, resulting in an emotional carnage as shocking as any of the series’ numerous kills: That garage scene. The hug in the driveway. U2. The final scene behind the curtain.
It was a perfect, harrowing, heartbreaking finale of FX's The Americans, offering both a homecoming and an inescapable sense of hiraeth. I’m going to miss this show, these characters, and ultimately the very mood of this remarkable show.
