The Americans

All's fair in love and cold war.

Created by Joe Weisberg

On FX

A tense, psychologically interior spy drama built on the irresolvable collision between assumed identity and authentic feeling, where the Cold War's ideological stakes become inseparable from a marriage's survival.

Set during the Cold War period in the 1980s, The Americans is the story of Elizabeth and Philip Jennings, two Soviet KGB officers posing as an American married couple in the suburbs of Washington D.C. and their neighbor, Stan Beeman, an FBI Counterintelligence agent.
