10 Shocking Scenes That Prove TV Has Gone Too Far
4. The Suitcase Scene (The Americans)
I personally turned away three or four times when I tried to watch the scene. This horrific scene in The Americans, shows Elizabeth and Philip spreading the body of their former colleague out of the hotel room floor, and spending several minutes breaking her bones and folding her entire body into a suitcase. They snap her limbs and fold her up, like a chair or a table.
The strength they put into it, in order to break the bones, makes the scene that much stronger, and more realistic. The scene is long and extremely graphic, and the sound effects of snapping and cracking bones is enough to make anyone cringe.
