If and when you guys return to Ozark, you'll see Richard Thomas in a later season! :) I will say that Ozark is pretty much relentlessly dark, but really well done if you can cope with that. The Americans has perhaps even _darker_ moments but those are more than offset by...well I won't say moments of "light", but there are certainly highs, victories of one form or another. I think what Ozark lacks is heroes...The Americans actually has lots of heroes.

Ozark was like a 40 minute panic attack lol. It was really well made and acted. No one was watching it and we thought, "why put ourselves through this?"

OK - hot take time - Mad Men lovers gonna hate this... Americans plot > Mad Men plot Can never have enough spy plots, and the juxtaposition of the KGB operatives hating (in this case) Christianity when they are essentially the exact same thing (indoctrination into a belief system at an early age), combined with the juxtaposition of Philip trying to let his own daughter grow up normal while seducing another girl essentially the same age....I find that infinitely more interesting than the "dudes can't stop having affairs motif" that we are now in Season 6 of. For Pete's sake (pun intended) people love Ken because he's like the only one that doesn't have an affair (i.e. does what he's supposed to do). How many different ways are they going to use this as the crutch with which to build a show on? I know I'm simplifying the show - but it really is the main arc throughout that everything else bounces off of. (and if you don't think that's true - remember the main reason they started their own company is because Roger was out of money in his divorce - everything is, man has infidelity - see the repercussions) This is - of course - my subjective opinion of these two shows and others will definitely disagree - which is OK and probably legitimate. :) I'm not saying Mad Men is terrible - it clearly isn't. But when I personally put top show lists together - the staleness of that story arc keeps dragging it down for me. I know Joe is stale on the Martha storyline, it will be interesting to see if that changes. Originally airing on February 18, 2015, 'Dimebag' is Episode 4 of Season 3 of The Americans. It is the 30th episode overall and has an IMDB rating of 8.0, placing it as the #10 ranked episode of this season and #15 out of all the episodes shown so far.

I probably should have posted that on the Mad Men page - but the pushback will probably be intense lol
