‘The Americans’ is one of the most humane shows on TV. We need it now more than ever. - The Washington Post: "These qualities have long made “The Americans,” which begins its final season on Wednesday, one of the most humane shows on television. And although the show’s portrait of the Cold War carries some superficial relevance in an age of escalating tensions between the United States and a Russia dominated by a man eager to avenge the humiliation of the Soviet Union’s defeat, that’s not why “The Americans” feels so essential today. Rather, the series is an argument — and a vital one in a polarizing time — that ideology isn’t the sum total of a life. Our dogmas will not save us.
