Season 2 of the Americans is way better than season 1 and that was a pretty great first season. Surprised you don't like it Burns.
I've just seen the finale of season two and dramatically, it was back on song, without too much overkill. It was a good final episode.
Sadly I just can't suspend disbelief regarding the premise, and it doesn't help that the only characters I actually like are the Russians in the Rezidentura.
The show doesn't imagine effectively the kind of contradictory feelings two KGB agents caught in the Jennings' position would experience, and I find both the leads relatively flat and affectless given the ludicrous shit they go through episode after episode. Agent Beeman is a placeholder in search of an actual character.
