I haven't seen one in video form. Best bet is the episode summaries on Wikipedia:Is there a season five recap? I'm having a hard time remembering what happened.

As a result, Evgheniya agrees to take him back to Moscow, without her husband.

I mean the spoiler there was kind of obvious once they announced the final season. No way they make a series like this and miss *that* event. Just no way.So excited for this. Been watching since the beginning. Up there with my favorite shows off all time.
I was pretty bummed by the S5 finale. I wanted the final season to take place all in Russia. I know that would've caused all sorts of story issues, but still.
I have faith they'll end it on a strong note though.
Should be interesting to see what thedoes. Kinda mad I found out about it. No other spoilers for me. Mild or not. I was scanning some headliner and that shit was there.time jump
Hoping there's more mail robot.
I probably should I always forget stuff

NY Times reviewThe show's meticulous construction of ambiguous choices is one of the finest achievements in recent television history. Sometimes precise and measured storytelling can be dry and arid, or lacking in passion. But showrunners Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields have made the examination of difficult moral options, and the often good intentions of complicated people, collide in believable and bittersweet ways for six seasons.
That "The Americans" makes you care about the answer without excusing the characters is its great accomplishment. It doesn't sugarcoat that Elizabeth and Philip are in an ugly line of work and do unforgivable things. They kill civilians, lie to their kids, ruin lives.
But unlike other bad-guy cable protagonists, they do it out of principle, however misguided. Elizabeth believes passionately in socialism. Philip's politics are shakier, his loyalties more personal.
THR: 'The Americans' Team Teases "Manic" Series FinaleThe hardest thing in all of television is making a great series season after season. And as The Americans begins its sixth and final season, the first three episodes sent by FX to critics elicited that kind of admiration, that confidence that, at least in the early going, the enormous weight of expectations hadn't crippled the show but given it a certain exhilaration as it began its end game.

What would be a fitting ending?
Philip sacrifices himself to capture by the Americans to keep Paige in America and from becoming a spy? Elizabeth's cover is blown but makes it home with Mathew who is unimpressed, unforgiving and spiteful regarding his new home and nationality?
The Wrap: The Americans showrunners say they are 'definitely going to hell' over the final season
Sounds like this isn't going to be a happy ending. Shocking I know.

I don't know if they are ever going to top Nina's execution, but I already feel a knot in my stomach anyway.
The Americans do meaningful, awful deaths like few other shows. Heck, even some of the quieter scenes can be devastating in its own right.
I totally forgot about that one.
