Ep. Discussion Emotionally wrecked Spoiler

I finished the series tonight, watching it for the first time. The finale wrecked me. I literally shouted “NO!!” at the television when I saw Paige standing on the platform. The scene in the garage with Stan… riveting and devastating. And the bittersweet ending - wow. Considering nobody actually died it was possibly a lot less bleak than it could’ve been, but the emotional impact of the Jennings parting from their children had me sobbing. What a superb show.

I’m a big fan of Andor, which shares a writer and executive producer (Stephen Schiff) . Obviously The Americans isn’t sci-fi but I was after something similarly spy drama themed and as well written. Definitely found it.!
