@mn5 I expect the writers will be relieved!
You have to admit, it's done in two seasons what TWD took about seven to achieve.

Just started into Season 4 of 'The Affair'
It's going to be a brilliant, tough watch methinks

@nepia I finished The Americans last night.
I thought it was a pretty good final episode, tying up enough loose ends, but leaving the door open just enough for them to ressurect it if they feel the need, maybe even following Paige as you get the feeling she was enjoying the life a bit like Elizabeth.
Very good show though, consistently good.
:::
Thought it was a good transition with the tension early on while Stan was on thier trail into the more sombre mood with the music overlays as we neared the end and Phillip & Elizabeth realized they had lost both kids.
Obviously be nice to have known if Stans Missus was an agent, I guess he doesnt want to know cos it makes him seem an even bigger fool having lived across the road from agents and now his Missus...

Hmm, I never got the feeling they left things open for a resurrection.

I think that the moment Paige got off the train she had made a decision that she was done with that life and was happy to live the rest of her days as an American.
I think it was a pretty good ending. The show was never typical, so not having a big final shootout fits for me.
I really wanted Elizabeth to go down, she's like a female version of the Breaking Bad guy whose name I can't remember, she's actually a really bad apple and I didn't want her to make it out.
For Phillip I think that at least in a few years time, with the ending of the Soviet Union, he'll be able to try and re-establish his connection with Henry.
Oh, I think we definitely know that Stan's missus is an agent from that final shot of her looking at the Jennings house. Actually a Stan Beamish show could be a spin off, him and his mate investigating a case(s) over 10 episodes.

The Americans and Halt and Catch Fire are two largely unheralded shows that sit in the top bracket of TV dramas for me.
Glad The Americans didn't actually finish two seasons ago when I thought they had!
-
I just think with the situation of the kids
:::
particularly Paige (or even Henry might decide he wants to be like dad, or be so angry he flips over the other side) there is scope for a reboot or kinda spin off I guess, which could bring Phillip & Elizabeth back, even Stan.

As a family drama? Or as agents in the FSB after the fall of the Soviet Union. Hmmm, I guess they could have Philip and Elizabeth going back to the states in the early 90s trying to re-recruit Paige while trying to bond with Henry.
TBH, I like how it finished, I would find it weird watching a non-80s set The Americans!
I think I would prefer a Stan centred spinoff, or a Henry's hockey career spin off.

@nepia you're struggling with this spoiler thing aren't you
WTF - if I go and edit that my text is all there!

But I like your thinking,

Maybe Stan recruits Henry to be a double agent in Russia!

:::Hahaha, that could be a show. Now, you've got weird shit going on with spoilering.

@taniwharugby @MiketheSnow I think one of my posts were missed with the fucking spoiler thing taking the piss with my posts! This is the actual spoilered bit from the post you both liked.

Technical Mods: Any idea why spoilers only work occasionally for me?

Taboo. Seen 3 episodes. Tom Hardy is farking brilliant. The show itself is intriguing but a bit of a struggle sometimes. Will stick with it.

Yeah - stick with it, all the spiritual/hallucination shit tapers off, from what I recall. And with that stripped away, it's good shit.

watched S1 of Goliath.
Really enjoyed it, although I did struggle with how it all ended, nothing seemed to fall in place for them yet it still came off? I mean given what we know as the viewer, thats how it should have gone, but nothing else seemed to point that way.
Had a look at KIlling Eve, ep 1 was good enough for me to watch more.
