The Americans (2013) - S5 • E2 Ratings & Reviews
New York Magazine/Vulture
Eric Eidelstein
While I'd argue it's essential to feel the boredom and exhaustion that the Jennings feel after so many years, Pests is simply too heavy on the exposition....it's good door-opening, but we're left wanting.
The Week
Lili Loofbourow
The Americans has historically been a fantastically quiet show (murders notwithstanding).
New York Times
Mike Hale
Tuesday's episode of The Americans was quiet, dark and ominous. It was transitional - no one died, no big secrets were revealed, but uneasiness reigned.
Vox
Caroline Framke
While last week's season premiere blew out the big picture to become even bigger, "Pests" brings the show's various threads back down to a more personal level, where you can see their frayed ends.
Paste Magazine
Matt Brennan
"Pests" points to The Americans' enduring strength, which is the force it exerts in even its most circumspect moments.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Look past the justifiably cagey way that it holds the cards of this season's arc to its chest and you will see that The Americans still dazzles for how it tautly parses its characters' emotional entanglements.
Observer
Sean T. Collins
The Americans makes it impossible to ever feel at ease. The bugs are always crawling, the germs are always spraying into the salad bar.
Den of Geek
Alec Bojalad
"Pests" is another stellar entry in the show's catalogue.
IGN Movies
Eric Goldman
The situation with the Jennings and the Beemans has been a powder keg since The Americans began, but it's never been more dangerous (and thus exciting) than it is now -- even while the two families are closer than ever.
Entertainment Weekly
Anthony Breznican
Some of the bigger moments of this installment of The Americans were played off as no big thing. But we know better, right, comrade?
AV Club
Erik Adams
What really holds "Pests" together is a mood shared by the main characters. In different ways, Elizabeth, Philip, and Stan are beginning to doubt their missions.
indieWire
Ben Travers
"Pests" continued to amp up the tension while allowing much-needed comedic relief. The Jennings are adjusting to their new vision of the world, and Paige's lens has a strong focus.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Scott Tobias
Of the two sides, "Pests" takes a particularly grim view of American intelligence agencies and the lengths they're willing to go to notch a victory in the Cold War.
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
Continuing this wild ride will be worth the price of admission.
