    Excellent Cold War Drama "The Americans"...

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2149175/?ref_=rvi_tt

    Set in the early 80s, two Soviet intelligence agents pose as a married couple to spy on the American government.



    This is so well put together and researched it is almost amazing. Strongly recommend it, put's a completely different perspective on events like the Reagan assassination attempt and the Soviet belief that the event was a military coup.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    I've seen the commericals for it, looks good but just don't have time to get into a series right now. Will check it out at some point.

    Good to know it is well researced.

    Excellent show, one of the very few I watch when broadcast.

    Wish it was on HBO

    I'm not seeing it on Netflix as stream-able. Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'd like to watch this.

    Keri Russell is hot. Great show, don't know about the spy craft, but at least they don't make stupid omissions or stuff that just grates on you. The whole FBI angle, stealth, DARPA, the internet is interesting. They toy with you on if the spies are good guys or bad guys- they try to get you to root for them against the US. Almost has a Tom Clancy feel to it before he stated to suck, and died. And Keri Russel.
