TV show description:
This period drama takes place in the early 1980s, shortly after Ronald Reagan was elected President.
Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) are a pair of KGB spies who live in a suburb of Washington DC. They are married and have two children — 13-year-old Paige (Holly Taylor) and 10-year-old Henry (Keidrich Sellati) — who have no idea about their parents’ secret identities.
Philip and Elizabeth are in an arranged marriage but it’s become more passionate and genuine as time has passed. Their relationship however is constantly tested — by the escalation of the Cold War and the relationships they must maintain with a network of spies and informants under their control.
Complicating their relationship even 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 that’s tasked with fighting against foreign agents on US soil — including KGB Directorate S illegals (Russian spies posing as Americans).
Episode #75 — Start
The Jennings face a choice that will change their lives forever.

What do you think? Do you like The Americans TV series? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a seventh season?
The Americans is one of the best shows on television – it should definitely NOT be cancelled! The acting is superb and the dialogue is real.
This show should NOT be cancelled because it is an excellent drama. The Sons of Anarchy has ended that is just one of other good shows that have ended, this one just can’t not yet….we have to find out if they get caught and by who.
Good show. Actors are competent writing good plot speeds up then slows down. I will continue to watch. Not as exciting or informative as ALLEGIANCE but certainly much more successful.
This is a great show. Some shows are a little slower than others because they’re setting it up so when something happens, we know why it happened. The storyline gets pretty intense and keeps us coming back for more. There are so many awful shows on TV that this one should not even be considered for a cancellation.
I don’t know why this show isn’t nominated for an Emmy and its actors along with it. At times it has us on the edge of our seat, excellent writing and acting.
Best series on TV, both for reality content and acting. would like to know return date if available.
One of the best on TV. Definitely do not cancel!
One of the better shows on TV…keep it going…love it!
I love the show and please don’t cancel. Really really enjoy. I have watch every episode from the beginning.
Really love the show. Matthew is great!! He’s such a good actor and love his character. Keri is excellent also. Find Paige and the actress who plays her really really REALLY annoying. Love Martha, the role and the actress.
Great show. My wife and I love it. RENEW!
Love the Americans! Great show. Can’t wait for the next season.
We look forward to watching this series but it really is getting more unbelievable. There again,
that’s show biz.
Can’t wait for new season. So much to discuss after watching each and every show.
Another poorly written show! keri Russell is totally UNBELIABLE as a Russian. She looks
more like a California Valley girl. I only watch the show to see Matthew Rhys…..now there’s
an ACTOR!!!!!
Love this show!
Love this show!!! Quality writing and acting.
My husband enjoy this show. Keep this series!
Great show, enjoy discussing this show with friends.
