Critic reviews for Rififi
Someone better yell "timber" because it's going down on The Americans.
I don't think it's a coincidence that in this very episode, Stan Beeman and Dennis Aderholt are at their chattiest, flush with success from finally infiltrating the Soviet "illegals" network...
Despite the decidedly low-key response to last episode's gaping questions, there's plenty of drama to chew on in episode six.
The Americans celebrated an unseasonably chilly Thanksgiving this week... but did we witness a thaw in Philip and Elizabeth's cold war?
We don't have much time left, and that ticking clock gets louder with each passing episode, even an emotionally potent one like this.
While Elizabeth is suspiciously absent, Stan, newly enraged after the murder of Sofia and Ginaddi, gives a rousing toast to American exceptionalism. His obliviousness has never looked so sad.
