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?
Great thriller! I look forward to its return. Please don’t cancel!
I’ve watched this since it began. Love it. The acting is superior. Please do not cancel this one.
The Americans is done well and very entertaining. I love the cast and look forward to seeing it again.
the americans is boring. Cancel it.
This is one of our personally top rated show! The plots are awesome, the cast is perfect! Really gonna miss Frank Langela’s part as their handler! It’s soooo interesting & although fiction, you know spying is & has been going on for decades. I love that their sex scenes are well done but not overdone or raunchy. Same for the killing scenes. They get it done without the sadistic, gory, horrific details we see on other shows. Keep this going forever!!! We will always watch it enthusiasticly! We DVR & binge watch it so we stay focused on the storyline!… Read more »
Keep it! Been watching it on Amazon Prime. Fantastic! Or do a new show, similar to original, but today—not 1980’s.
Renew! Love this series. Ironically it is timely given what has been going on with Russian interference in US’s 2016 election. Great plotlines and believable characters.
Please don’t cancel just catch on DVD with the series best spy show ever made for adults only.
PLEASE keep this show on! It is so well done and the actors are fabulous. It’s entertainment at it’s BEST, not some stupid mindless show that you forget 5 minutes after you watch it. This show I can’t wait until the next week for it to come back on.
Renew. Best TV show ever. Great story, great acting and very intense/
If this series is written on true facts Russia have sure the upper hand in the U.S.A.I love the series.
Renew, great intrigue, excellent writing show.
Renew!! This is a great show! Please keep it going!!
I enjoy the show, although recently it has lacked a little bit of the original edge that it had.
Again it is good to see that we have a known ending to come that will mean a logical conclusion.
I have watched the Americans since the first episode and love it!! Don’t cancel
