I think Phillip was sympathetic the last few years.
Elizabeth needed to get shot.

I thoroughly enjoyed it…. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was the best in 10 years.

That looks like Kamala Harris' step-birthing person/daughter thing...

The got caught in the story arc when Martha and the Russian girl had to go but they still had too many episodes to make. That resulted in the Paige story line taking up too much space - sometimes with kid actors your get Sally Draper, sometimes you get Paige.

The past decade? You need to get out more
It’s easily one of the best of all time not just the last 10 years.

I was sympathetic to Phillip the entire series. Elizabeth didn’t realize she was set up with a kind and loving partner and took it for granted.

I like the scenes where 85 pound Kerry Russel beats the crap out of grown men. Very realistic. Annet Mahendru was so hot in this but they totally messed up her arc. I don't remember when i quit watching.

I've tried twice and I can't finish it. It is a great show, I wish I would have watched all the way to the end but it just became something that put me to sleep at night. If it had a satisfying ending, I can see how someone could view it as one of the best of the decade, THE best seems like a stretch.
When we did the best tv show tournament on here, it did pretty well so I think as a whole this board likes it pretty good.
Excluding comedies, The Leftovers, Black Sails, and True Detective S1. Breaking Bad would be the boards highest vote getter.

You need to rewatch them.
She is highly trained in offensive and defensive fighting, as well as use of weapons and most of her opponents aren't yet she still takes damage in almost every one of those fights.
Hell, there's one instance where they both got beat up so badly they had to pile their car into a tree to generate an explanation for their injuries.

You misspelled "Justified".

Yep, The Americans wasn't event the best show on FX over the past decade.

FX had some absolute bangers with The Shield, Justified, and The Americans.
There was a good season of Nip/Tuck mixed in there. Sons of Anarchy was good more than it was bad.

She got a fate worse than death. She won't ever get to see her kids. Her son will hate her and probably go hardcore in the other direction because of what she did. She didn't accomplish her goal and her daughter's life will be as bad or worse than hers.
The best part is she gets to live thru the USSR falling apart and ceasing to be a country. She probably can’t set foot outside Russia.

There were some truly sympathetic characters. I felt for the secretary that "married" "Clark".
She got duped because she was lonely but the most sympathetic character imo was Oleg Burov. He winds up in jail for espionage when he was trying to do the right thing.

Haven't seen it but gave you an upvote for the "IMO" Which people never do after saying something is the best.

Please. No amount of training is going to let an 85 pound woman dominate a man, especially when that man is an FBI agent or cop that also has training. Just lazy SJW writing.

Can you watch it without paying for it? I remember at one time it was Amazon prime?

Run of the mill FBI agents and cops do not receive Krav Maga and other martial arts/hand to hand combat training like they show her receiving in flashbacks. She wasn’t going 15 rounds with anyone and would catch them off guard and or hit someone in key pressure points. There was nothing overly unrealistic about it, it’s also incredibly lazy to grossly under exaggerate her size, she’s not “85 LBs” and to dismiss any thing you don’t like as “SJW”.

I just finished the series. Just fantastic, but I’m furious about Oleg’s ending.
