Scott Tobias New York Magazine/Vulture 06/02/2018
4/5
The Americans articulates Philip and Elizabeth's own misery so beautifully that we need to remind ourselves that they're recruiting their daughter through insidious lies and half-truths. Go to Full Review Eric Eidelstein New York Magazine/Vulture 06/02/2018
The cleverly titled "The Committee on Human Rights" is a contained episode where we must reconcile the fact that these parents ("the committee") will ruin their daughter's life ("human rights"). Go to Full Review Genevieve Koski Vox 04/20/2017
True, there wasn't a lot of suspense or action in "The Committee on Human Rights," but the episode's endless discussions were packed with thematic import and consequence, particularly those involving Paige. Go to Full Review Lili Loofbourow The Week 08/28/2017
