The Americans is over. They did that. And as there is so much Americans related content this week from costume rundowns at Racked to the many amazing reviews/discussions—Paste, Variety, Vulture and Vox are a few of my faves. There are also interviews with the cast and showrunners. At Esquire a Matthew Rhys profile reveals the role Adam Driver has in The Americans legacy, which was unexpected, but amazing. For podcasts the official Americans Slate one rounds off an excellent series with the cast. Todd VanDerWerff’s “I Think You’re Interesting” features a conversation with Matthew Rhys and showrunners Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields. I think it is interesting.
And I have a couple of pieces at other outlets that I am incredibly proud of. First, I wrote about how pop culture has been used in season 6 to illustrate wider points at Little White Lies. And in the final scene of the finale, something from Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears is referenced in the best possible way. In the goodbye post from a few days ago I mentioned that I have reviewed every single episode on TV Ate My Wardrobe since the season 1 finale.
Absent is the series finale and that is because I had the pleasure of writing about it for Collider. Some of my favorite essays about this show have been for Collider, I love that I got to breakdown this excellent/devastating/satisfying final outing. If you enjoyed my meditations on this show and particularly marriage, you will likely enjoy this review.
“Out of the Box” has also been absent recently—due to my increased workload elsewhere—but I do want to include some moments from the FYC event from Wednesday night. Because I love Keri Russell’s outfit. This Dior skirt and simple white tee combo is the perfect miss of casual and fancy. 
And also because feelings. So many feelings.
From the season 1 premiere. Aka how to feel old.
Great sock game.
And from Jimmy Kimmel Live! Keri Russell has legs for days. 
I love a Hollywood Reporter roundtable and I was thrilled to see Matthew Rhys is one of the drama dudes. Also he looks super handsome in this photo. Someone get this man a period show/movie set in the ’40s. Also let him make his Griffith J. Griffith biopic. This story sounds fascinating. As is this dude’s mustache.
There’s of course been a lot of finale discussion this week, but one of the most interesting comes from this panel with the cast and two former CIA Agents. It is fascinating. Martha Peterson reminds me so much of Becky Ann Baker, also she is a badass.
This will not be the last time The Americans is written about here at TV Ate My Wardrobe, but I really am thankful that a show like this exists, that it got to tell this story and I got to write so much about it.
TV Ate My Wardrobe 
I adore your recaps of “The Americans” and have truly enjoyed following your blog during this finale (and devastating) season of the show. The jealousy I have for your being able to write about TV as a career cannot be overstated; any advice on how to break into that world for a fellow TV-and-word admirer?
Thanks for the fantastic episode recaps and commentary!
Thank you! That is so lovely to hear. I really appreciate these comments.
The best piece of advice I’ve ever had is pretty much to write as often as you can. And write about what you are passionate about. An editor found my work on this blog and that is how I got my first major paid opportunity. From there I have pitched a lot, but I wouldn’t have got to this point without this blog. It can be a little scary at first, but it is worthwhile. Hope this helps and thanks again for these kind words.
