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).

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?
If ever there was a series with such a series 6 leaving great opportunity to carry on or even expand into another series form this is it
Even with a new family the idea is so great that FX is missing out
We need more seasons of the Americans please my favorite!!! I wish it went as far as telling those their kids who they are and them pulling out of America or leaving the KGB
Ended rather flatly, disappointed. Maybe another year would have given time for a much better ending.
This drama is fantastic!! Should definitely have continung episodes! I could even think of story lines!!
Great acting, great show and cast- great TV show! Great
We need more seasons. Lots of story lines available!
