Brilliantly Exciting and Intelligent US TV Drama about Soviet Spies Embedded in the USA in 1980s - The Americans review by PV
I love this series - it is brilliantly realised, exciting, happily unwoke and non-pc, and genuinely scary at times.
Believable to a point, though no doubt many real spy stories have been condensed into this one.
One of the best TV drama series I have watched in the last decade, and WAY superior to the awful pc world woke nonsense of BBC and UK TV drama. This is in the premier league. The BBC is not even in division 4 for its mediocre drama now.
Just great and WONDERFUL 80s music too.
