    One of the best shows on TV right now. It's too bad it doesn't have much of an audience, but the nice part is FX has already renewed it for seasons 5 and 6 so they'll get to tell the whole story. Can't wait for season 5....usually premieres in the spring.

    Absolutely agree. One of the best, if not the best, show on tv right now.

    Season 5 will be here in a couple weeks. March/April is going to be a great time for TV....The Americans, The Leftovers, Fargo and Better Call Saul will all be on at the same time. I might not leave the house.

    Since my wife goes to bed at 8pm every night (damn newborns!), I'm a couple episodes behind.  But it feels like this season has been crawling along and nothing is really happening.  I think they gave themselves too many episodes to finish the series with 13 this season and 10 next season.

    I agree, it has been slow going.  The tension seems to be missing as well.   And as much as I love Oleg's character, the lack of stuff happening at the Rezidentura has resulted in a lot less of Stan too.  I'm hoping that all the stories are going to start coming together soon.

    It seems like there's not one coherent story line like there normally is...tough to tell what they're building towards

    So this season was pretty bad huh?  Things were moving so slow....felt like not much happened.  And how do they leave Oleg out of the finale completely?  They've been following his story in Russia all year and then absolutely nothing in the season finale?  Hopefully they finish it up strong with the last 10 episodes next season.

    I don't think it was bad but I agree it was very slow. It kind of reminded me of the Sopranos season that led to Tony and Carmella seperating during the Whitecaps episode. With the focus more on their family, I think this season was basically setting up next season and how/if they end up getting out of this life. 

    The Yellow Brick Road scene kind of reminded me of the Don't Stop Believing scene in Sopranos too. Thought it was intense and was waiting for something bad to happen to Paige

    So slow.  I get what they were trying to do, but I feel like they had already clearly established these family issues in previous seasons.  We know Phillip doesn't like this life anymore and Paige is having trouble accepting all of this.  And yeah, I was definitely expecting something bad to happen during yellow brick road.

    My prediction for how it ends is Phillip turns himself into the FBI and him and the kids go into witness protection and Elizabeth goes back to Russia on her own.

    I'm curious to see what happens with his son's in Russia and also Martha. It seemed like they were building up those storylines and then nothing happened...
