The Americans is described as 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. Rhys and Russell play Philip and Elizabeth Jennings, KGB Directorate S illegals in an arranged marriage that grows more passionate and genuine as it is constantly tested by the escalation
of the Cold War and the dangerous relationships they must maintain with a network of spies.
Complicating their covert situation further is Philip’s growing sense of affinity for the American way of life, plus the arrival of a new neighbor, Stan Beeman (White Collar‘s Noah Emmerich), an FBI agent whose beat is tracking foreign agents on U.S. soil — including Russian spies posing as Americans. Well that’s an unfortunate coinky-dink.
FX recently announced that its acclaimed drama Justified will return for Season 4 on Tuesday, Jan. 8.
Watch a promo for The Americans here. Will you be tuning in?
is it be action-oriented?
Not know what it be.
be is a typo, heh. the question should be “is it action-oriented?” I didn’t see the promo when I asked it, but even after I saw it I still have my doubts. I’m hoping for something along the lines of Mission Impossible 3.
I will definitely watch!
I’m not sure how interested I will be in the story itself, but Keri Russell, so I need to watch it anyways.
I can’t wait!!!
KERI RUSSELL!! I love her and CAN’T. WAIT.
Where’s Scotty?
I miss Matthew Rhys /Brothers & Sisters. I’ll check it out.
I love the idea of an 80s period piece. I’ll check it out.
Def checking this one out!
Can’t wait!!!!
NOT interested at all. It seems like a platform for preaching politics. There’s just something about it that makes me want to pass on it. I’ll watch the first ep. to make sure.
I’m hopeful about it. I love Cold War espionage.
Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell? Yep, I’ll definitely check it out. I miss Matthew Rhys on my television.
Gotta watch, for Matthew Rhys if nothing else. I miss him on my TV
I’m really interested in the premise of this show. I will be tuning in for sure. If FX can give this show the same level of quality and great writing as Justified, I’ll be hooked…
Really like both the leads, so I’ll be watching.
