THE AMERICANS: Season 4 Teasers: The Jennings Faces Internal/External Threats [FX]

Keri Russell Matthew Rhys The Americans Stingers

The Americans Season 4 Promos. FX‘s The Americans: Season 4 teasers Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Holly Taylor, Noah Emmerich, and Richard Thomas. The Americans: Season 4’s plot synopsis: “The Americans is a period drama about the complex marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington D.C. during the Reagan administration. The arranged marriage of Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but as the pressures and demands of the job grow heavier, the personal toll becomes almost too exhausting to bear.

Having revealed their true identities to their teenage daughter Paige (Holly Taylor), Philip and Elizabeth must keep their daughter’s best interests at heart while ensuring that their cover identities, and thus their lives, remain protected. Their previous missions have already placed Philip and Elizabeth in great jeopardy. Martha (Alison Wright), a valued secretary at the FBI whom Philip married while undercover, has been an invaluable source of intel. However, when her cover is nearly blown, Philip must make increasingly difficult decisions to ensure her safety and allegiance. The Jennings’ neighbor, FBI Agent Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich), could also prove to be a renewed threat.

His KGB lover/asset Nina (Annet Mahendru), having failed to turn him against the U.S., was sent back to Moscow to face an unsure fate. With Nina gone, Stan has made an effort to become closer with his family, and has formed a bond with the Jennings’ 12-year-old son, Henry (Keidrich Sellati). He has also cultivated his relationship with KGB officer Oleg Burov (Costa Ronin), behind the back of Oleg’s boss, Director of the KGB Rezidentura Arkady Ivanovich (Lev Gorn). Stan’s newfound dedication to wiping out Directorate S has also led him to become suspicious of Martha’s uncharacteristic behavior. As he begins to investigate what’s been in front of him all this time, he might finally get closer to uncovering the “Illegals” – Philip and Elizabeth – that have eluded him for so long.”

The Americans is one of my favorite TV shows on television. As soon as I heard the original premise, I was intrigued. The show has gotten better and better with each season. The Jennings have never faced a threat like the one they are now facing with Paige. They were and still are completely ignorant of how moral their daughter is and the moral conflict crashing left and right inside of her.

I found this strange since they study people for a living to deduce threats and weaknesses within them that they can exploit. Perhaps they are blind because it is their daughter, not a mark to be twisted around their finger. Their blind-spot, however, has the potential of getting them both killed or sent to prison for the rest of their lives.

The Americans: Season 4 also stars Keidrich Sellati, Annet Mahendru, Susan Misner, Alison Wright, Lev Gorn, and Costa Ronin.
