A pair of deep-cover Soviet spies masquerades as a typical DC couple whose children, neighbors, coworkers & friends are completely unaware of their activities. At home, they're the stereotypical parents of stereotypical kids; at work, they pose as travel agents; but at night, they weave a web of confidants, lovers, dupes, and historical figures from the Reagan-era Cold War. The startlingly realistic plot twists force the viewer to consider the real cost of an undeclared war, what it takes to protect one's beliefs, if it's worth it, and if it actually worked for either side.

Sounds like my kind of thing. How long it been running? Where can I view/catch up with it?
 
Bloody love The Americans - great show that seemed somehow to go under the radar

Great 80's pre tech vibe to it too. The good old days :)
 
Currently enjoying re-runs of Malcolm in the middle. It has to be one of the best comedy shows of all time.
 
The Americans is right up there with The Sopranos, Mad Men and The Wire as one of the best shows ever. Deep as the Pacific.
 
I always thought the film was vastly overrated. Not sure how they're going to spin a series out of it. I'd have liked HBO to take on something like Conn Igguldon's Conqueror series.

Disagree the format would be never ending with different times in our history plus new actors every season.

Do agree about Conn Igguldon series but maybe the Emperor one [emoji6]

HBO have already done a series about Rome in collaboration with the BBC. Very good it was too. I think the Conqueror series would work very well.
