The Americans (2013) - S4 • E9 Ratings & Reviews
New York Magazine/Vulture
Eric Eidelstein
Whether it intends to or not, "The Day After" forces viewers to take a step back.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
Another solid episode of the series, if not as tense by default as the last few, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
AV Club
Erik Adams
The morality of The Americans is rarely black-and-white, but the specter of mutually assured destruction has a way of rendering complicated issues into absolutes.
The Young Folks
Aaron Neuwirth
Coming after the terrific 'David Copperfield' episode, 'The Day After' is not quite a series high, but it provided some breathing room that also served a purpose.
TV.com
Ryan Sandoval
Overall, the hour was equal parts reset and roll call for our characters, with a healthy dosage of classic '80s atmosphere that this show serves up so well.

"You have to blink, Paige," may be how I choose to remember the episode overall: a tension-relieving respite from the pressures of eight anxious weeks, just before the real shit hits the fan.
Slant Magazine
Matt Brennan
"The Day After" is... fittingly enough, a tribute to the power of television: the foremost medium through which we enjoy, or endure, the experience of being alone together.
Paste Magazine

I loved how the airing of The Day After was an undercurrent to all the action-a reminder of how high the stakes truly are.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Genevieve Koski
The idea of blinking - choosing to hesitate in the face of a decision - gets a lot of play in this episode, which draws from the 1983 TV movie The Day After for both its title and its emotional resonance.
Den of Geek
Alec Bojalad
The Americans is a great show because in the same episode that it shows that the end of the world is a possible consequence of Elizabeth not doing her job ... we desperately want her to not do her job.
Observer
Sean T. Collins
I cried during this sequence. The antiwar message of the film the characters watched, the sense of colossal, avoidable loss and waste and tragedy, covered my brain like ashes. The power of art to communicate the awful truth was palpable.
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
Maybe it's because I lived through the era and am actually cognitive of the times that I so connect with what's happening. Regardless, The Americans Season 4 Episode 9 hit me hard.
