The Americans Synopsis

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: Season One Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
I frankly never completely bought into The Americans' conceit, that said, the show is intricately structured and features some fantastically fun (and sometimes unexpectedly funny) performances.
Full Review | Grade: B
The Americans: Season 3 Physical Media: DVD Review
The entire cast is excellent as they portray a very real time in American history.  Kerri Russell is certainly the stand out of the show.

The Americans: The Complete Fifth Season Physical Media: DVD Review
Season five of The Americans planted the seed of Elizabeth and Phillip returning home and it will be interesting to see if the writers end the show that way or if they will kill off either of these characters.
