The Americans, the TV show about Russian agents embedded in the U.S. in the 1980s, has gone out with a bang, winning two Emmy Awards for its final season. It's getting no prizes from me, though, for its portrayal of Russian spies so implausibly effective and resourceful that I suspect it made it easier for actual Americans to leap to premature conclusions about Trump-Russia collusion.
In the end, after six seasons of murder most foul, high-stakes espionage and international intrigue, it somehow felt perfect the climactic scene of "The Americans" should happen in the most mundane of places: a parking garage. There was no bloodshed, and not a single bullet fired.
