About this show

The Americans is a period drama about the complex marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington D.C. shortly after Ronald Reagan is elected President. The arranged marriage of Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell), who have two children -- 13-year-old Paige (Holly Taylor) and 10-year-old Henry (Keidrich Sellati), who know nothing about their parents' true identity -- grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but is constantly tested by the escalation of the Cold War and the intimate, dangerous and darkly funny relationships they must maintain with a network of spies and informants under their control. Complicating their relationship further is Philip's growing sense of affinity for America's values and way of life. Tensions also heighten upon the arrival of a new neighbor, Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich), an FBI agent. Stan and his partner, Agent Chris Amador (Maximiliano Hernández), are members of a new division of Counterintelligence tasked with fighting against foreign agents on U.S. soil, including KGB Directorate S illegals, Russian spies posing as Americans.

The Americans is one of the most underrated TV dramas to come out of the USA. And credit to the USA-ians for portraying a balanced, well, more balanced than you'd expect, scenario- with human Soviet agents as well as US 'Contra' style terrorists working for the CIA

A gripping thriller which has maintained its superb production over 5 Seasons, This reflects the standard of writing, acting and direction. Its a great pity that the show has been marginalised on TV, such that I have to buy it.
