Tim’s take

He treats The Americans as one of the best shows on TV, ranking it alongside The Wire and The Shield and pushing it on Ray as a recommendation he keeps repeating 42:18 0:40 10:37. He singles out the acting as understated and phenomenal and holds it up as an example of TV that earns its moments instead of relying on shock twists 56:47 0:40. The praise is consistent across years of episodes, even showing up as a comparison point when he's arguing about something else entirely, like Breaking Bad or Santa Clarita Diet 39:37 41:49 26:51.
