The Americans

[Colback's Orange Tufts]

Anyone else watched this. It's set in the early 80s in DC. Two KGB agents have been posing as a married American couple for 15 years and have two kids. A mixture of spy drama with FBI agents, informants and intel about Stealth fighters with a marriage drama. Is their marriage just pretend or real? I really like it.

Also it's American cable so you can imagine some of it's content

I was tempted to start watching it on Amazon Instant but I haven't yet. Might give it ago if you're recommending it.

I've downloaded a few episodes on to the Kindle but keep forgetting to watch them

I do recommend it. It's not as procedural as I'd expected and they don't shy away from the main characters killing selfishly. But you still like them.

A note, in the pilot there is a plot contrivance that made me think. "oh that's very convenient, I can see the struggle they are setting up here, lame" and I almost stopped watching. But it very cleverly doesn't do that.

The FBI agent moving across the road seemed silly. Was worried they'd do a massive arc of him suspecting them, but thankfully it didn't happen
