Josh Bids Farewell to The Americans!
I started watching The Americans very soon after I’d finished watching Breaking Bad, and right away from the pilot episode I was struck by the similarity of the set-up: Philip and Elizabeth Jennings had to hide their criminal activities from Stan Beeman, their FBI-agent neighbor

Although I was not that taken by the 2016 six-episode relaunch of The X-Files, I found myself quite enjoying this year’s new batch of episodes. Click here for my review of the first three episodes of this new 10-episode season, and click here for my review of episodes 4-6. A
