I loved Paige. I only wish she got more screentime! She had one of the most interesting arcs of the show, and she made the internal growth/conflict convincing. Right up to the stunner ending!

Paige was supposed to be annoying. She was being a typical whiny American entitled teen.


She was supposed to be compelling to watch on screen. She was not.

This is also one of a very few series I’ve re-watched all the way through. I was amazed at how compelling it was even the second time. Great show, totally holds up.

Yeah, even Father Tim was terrific - and he played Dollar Bill in Billions - I would never have connected the two performances as by the same guy (but the wig helped)

You think she’s pretty?

Exaggerate much? The actress playing Paige was perfectly fine in the role.


She was distracting and a false note in an otherwise pretty perfect ensemble.


OMG yes, she was a one-pitch whiner.

The Americans was such a great show. I put it up there with Lost as the best TV series.
