The Americans (2013)
A TV series like The Americans may not occur often, but within the genre, a top-notch series like this appears once in a blue moon, and only a few will appreciate the masterful, meticulously precise strokes of espionage masters in such a refined form. This series belongs to the likes of Breaking Bad. However, the above also places the series in the significantly higher quality part of production. The strengths are the ambiguous characters and personalities who constantly wrestle with dilemmas between their emotions and obligations, between morality and fear of exposure or mistakes. The Americans takes us back to the 80s, a period of escalating Cold War and superpower rivalry. A pair of Soviet spies create an apparently ideal family unit within the United States as part of their cover, but some of their work tasks simply do not align with a harmonious family life... Overall impression: 75%.
