‘The Americans’ Goes Dark(er), With Help From a Painter

Already anticipating the final season but this just makes it more intriguing. I've wondered if this season will have Stan finally waking up and realizing his friends are spies and then trying to turn them -- with Elizabeth only pretending to agree but Philip really flipping to the American side, as he's been leaning towards doing. That would set up a covert spy war between the spouses that would play out the series' parallel storylines of marriage and country.

As a painter I love this artist's work, I can't wait to see how it fits into the show. Great concept, to allow the emotional power of a painting to lead the story, and direct the outcome of the series.
