I have watched every episode of this show and have consistently been entertained. However, this year has tried my viewing patience. The acting is as good as ever. but the plots have been weak. The most unrealistic part has been the frantic pace of multiple projects, and the resulting mistakes that should have left them more visible on the FBI's radar. Instead Stan has been blissfully chasing his new love interest, while his spy neighbors come and go at all hours of the day and night, leaving their two teenagers to raise themselves. Phillip wants out but would probably stay in the USA for his kids. Elizabeth is too invested in her ideology to ever quit, but would love to take the kids to Russia so they can become good Reds like herself. Paige is so messed up a team of doctors can't fix her and Henry isn't going anywhere except with his girlfriend to private school and a life of capitalism. Actually maybe they have set the table for the final unraveling of the story. In real life, the people this was based on did nothing as meaningful as the show characters have, but the crimes, especially the deaths, these two have been responsible for has to result in them getting caught, punished or worse. Phillip and Elizabeth will ultimately have to pay for their crimes, if they get away after all they have done, this show will have left a very negative and anti-American message.
