At long last tovarischi, the return of The Americans is upon us! And you know we have to go back to all that happened last season to be ready for the mayhem to come! We break down each and every episode of Season 4 and offer our thoughts about what we have seen and what it all means!

Plus we have a wee bit of news this week for you, starting with a listing of many of the awards that the show was up for, plus the wins! Then we have Deadline’s great interview with Keri Russell & Matthew Rhys on ‘The Americans’ Emmy-nominated 4th season, followed by Vulture’s piece on The Americans showrunners on real-life Russian spying, Donald Trump, and the new season, and we close with The Seattle Post Intelligencer revealing that The Americans’ producers love those Russian hacking jokes as much as you do.
