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?
This is a wonderful series! I look forward to it every year and have toldl everyone I know about the quality of the writing and acting! Please don’t cancel it! Thank you!
Please don’t cancel it, we love it.
I am quite disgusted and insulted by the T.V. ad about this show that says I am insane if not watching it. That statement, for sure, makes it certain I won’t be watching it. Don’t care if it continues or not, but ditch the ad writer.
Your not watching a fabulous show because of a stupid TV ad? That’s insane.
I would like the series to be continued.
Very realistic although this is based upon Russia, the problem countries today are doing exactly the same things now.
The Americans should definitely be renewed. The show getting interesting with Stan telling his boss about. his affair with the woman at the Russian Embassy .
definitely renew. Its #1 no my DVR. Got involved with each character. Acting is great and storyline is real.
Please do not cancel. It’s #2 on my recorder, right above The Blacklist which is #3 out of 48 on my series manager. Young and old watch. Best of the best.
It is an excellent show – steeping in a historical concept some of us were around then to remember today. The acting is excellent and is leaps and bounds better than most all of what television networks provide…
The Americans, I look forward to season four.
Not sure why networks feel it’s ok to start new seasons of tv shows months even years after the finallly. We as Americican are quick to lose interest and move on to something new. Ijs
Bring it back for a full season long show Bring it back very soon. March 2016 is too long a wait.
This is the best show on TV. Extremely realistic.
please…. do Not cancel this show- great Potential for many seasons to come!
thanks for caring..
Hopefully The Americans will be around for a while due to its period setting which I remember vividly. I think the acting is much better than the gunk the big networks throw at us viewers.
I love the show, please bring it back.
