We just finished watching the last episode of Season 1 of
The Americans, (FX) and I have to say, this is such an
intriguing show! If any of you get the chance to watch this from the beginning,
you will be hooked from episode 1.
This is a hard-hitting, fast-paced, intense drama set during the end of the Cold War in the 1980’s Reagan era.
It’s about an undercover Russian couple who are
spies that appear to everyone to be an average American couple, living in the suburbs with two kids and running a travel agency. Everything about this show is
top-notch: the characters, the acting, the stories, the sets, the history, etc. And they’ve really nailed all the details of the 1980s.
If any of you are really into
1980’s nostalgia or props, then you will really appreciate this show also.
I’m fairly picky about what I watch, and I have to say, this is near the top of my list for favorite TV shows!
