More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for The Americans Season 3 All Critics (53) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (53) | Rotten (0) The Americans is only getting better with age, answering its questions as it builds upon them -- even if the solutions don't come easy. Jan 26, 2015 | Rating: A | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic Comrades the Jennings may be, but Elizabeth is first among equals, and The Americans is the story of her antiheroism above all. Jan 29, 2015 | Full Review… Sean T. Collins Observer Top Critic The Americans remains one of prime time's best series, the only negatives at this point being how complicated the plotting is, to the degree at which we almost need a flow chart to keep up. It's a headache, but a great one to have. Jan 29, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Critic The Americans also remains a sharp, emotionally rich portrait of the politics of family life. You can fully enjoy the story without following the espionage material closely. Jan 29, 2015 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic The Americans remains the best show on TV about family -- and, you know, the best show on TV -- because it is both tender and unflinching in its examinations of lies big and small, "good" and bad. Jan 28, 2015 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic The close calls are starting to feel a little redundant, but the looming human drama in season three of The Americans should keep it near the top of the spy pack. Jan 28, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic The Americans still has those artfully shot scenes that leave you nervously glancing over your shoulder. It still has the deeply felt performances. And, if our intel is correct, it's still getting better. Jan 26, 2015 | Full Review… Mark Dawidziak Cleveland Plain Dealer The Americans locates a stirring balance between brooding, heated familial melodrama and equally taut, often lethal procedures of its infectious spy drama. Jan 26, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… Chris Cabin City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Based on the first two hours of Season 3, The Americans won't be losing the title of "Best Drama on TV" anytime soon. Jan 26, 2015 | Rating: 10/10 | Full Review… Sam Woolf We Got This Covered I really enjoyed it, and as someone who was born around the time this show takes place, I actually appreciate the pacing being a little slow, as I often have to research things I didn't know about, which is most everything on this show, history-wise. Jan 30, 2015 | Full Review… Mark Trammell TV Equals View All Critic Reviews (53) Audience Reviews for The Americans: Season 3 ½ Yet another very solid entry onto the show but it's becoming quite evident that it will never be able to surpass its solid quality. Maybe it's time to start thinking about wrapping up this soon, since the pace is too slow to go beyond 5 seasons and with such limited production values, it's better to end on a high note, than a low one. We're starting to thread on repetition here and that's never a good thing for a show that has very little audience. Francisco G Super Reviewer The third season of the Americans represents both a return to mature television and a slow-burn espionage thriller. It continues to feature excellent performances from an ensemble cast, and a story-line that places emphasis on it characters and never loses sight of what makes any drama effective. This season placed more emphasis on the family dynamics at play, which injected the show with a unique wrinkle that further distinguished it. The Americans also continues to develop its characters- the world they live in feels lived in, the changes organic to the story. For all it does right, this season is, on a whole, devoid of some of the same thrills that made the first two seasons enthralling. Its slow burn became a bit bogged down and, by the finale, there’s a bit of underwhelming climax. Still the pieces are there for a great season going forward.
