Oh goodness. Buckle up.
I love The Americans so much.
We finished it last night. Still processing it, but I do have a couple of loose ends, I think.
First, what happens with Paige? Obviously, she's wanted by the US Government. Is she just going to be on the run the rest of her life?
Second, I think Renee was definitely a soviet spy. The show never definitively says one way or the other. Kinda like Higgins on Magnum, I guess.
It's been a while, but
- Spoiler: show
- Does anyone know other than Stan? Is he going to rat on her? I thought that was the gamble she was making--that Stan wouldn't come after her, and that she could assume a new identity.
As to the second part, yes, I definitely think so.
Were they not looking for her on the train, as well?

Don't remember that at all so I'll defer to you. I've wanted to go back and watch it from start to finish now that it's done, I'm sure I missed things on the first go-round.

I accidentally watched the first episode of The Sopranos yesterday, and then I went ahead and watched the second episode today. Uh-oh, I may be doing this again

We’ve started Modern Love on Prime. Tina Fey is in it so it can’t be totally bad, right?

Really enjoyed the first ep of 'Run' on HBO. Excited to see where it goes/what it is.

If we finish it it will be! I watched about half the first season before.

Ah. Hope you make it this time. It's an all-timer.

I kind of hated the campy aspects the first time I tried it but I'm really enjoying them now. Dunno if that says more about me or the current state of prestige tv (i.e. that most of it sucks)

I wish the HBO Now app streaming quality was better on the PS4. Everything is incredibly dark (I remember this being an issue for GoT as well).

I don't remember Watchmen being too dark. GOT, though, absolutely. I also watched both on the NOW app, though I watch through AppleTV more than PS4. So maybe that's the difference with Watchmen?

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I guess Amazon Prime's HBO subscription has a better streaming quality and the dark scenes are much better. That is how I watched most of GoT's more recent seasons. Apple TV has good marks too.
