More Review

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Brain Outy The ideas behind the series are pretty apt. The actual function of an embedded Soviet agent in the US during this time was not quite so dramatic, but the range of things depicted, did happen.Much of what the series covers, I learned as a student of Russian propaganda in the 1970s, in an American university. The series occurs a few years later, but is still apt, for what I learned.What really frustrates me is that there should be a season 7, to finish off the hanging plot threads. There was hardliner opposition to Mikhail Gorbachev, but he was a protege of Yuri Andropov; KGB SVR & GRU were always at war with each other, so it's plausible enough.Given what's happening with Donald Trump now, this series is especially applicable; so I don't understand why there isn't funding for a season 7. Somebody should pick it up.

cetopfed Horrible accents, people pretending to smoke, all around bad acting and crappy writing. I tried hard to like this series but it was so implausible.

southdavid "The Americans" is about two deep cover Russian agents who live in Washington, with their two kids and a successful travel business. Already struggling to keep their missions and activities secret from their children, their lives are further complicated when Stan Beeman ( Noah Emmerich) an FBI agent, moves in across the street and their kids become friendly. Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell do a tremendous jobs of portraying the central couple of "Phillip" and "Elizabeth". Initially convinced that they are doing good work, despite the deceptive nature of it, Phillip becomes less sure of this as the show progresses - especially when called upon to eliminate a target. Though initially paired by the state, Phillp and Elizabeth have grown to accept one another and their fondness is blossoming. Phillips doubts, as well as external relationships both real and staged are affecting the couple and Rhys and Russell perform this relationship really well. The show did a great job of recreating the 70's and 80's and there are some great music cues across the run. It felt like grown up television, never afraid to be sad, or vicious and confident in the central pairing to carry the show forward. The acting has always been top notch, with so many other actors away from the centrals providing notable characters and though I have enjoyed the series through the years watching it, I do look back now and struggle to remember many memorable incidents or sub plots from across the years. I won't ever sit down and watch it again, but if you haven't seen it, it's worth a go.

manjaladnan One of the best series ever made. From the very first episode of season one to the last episode of the final season. Superb and exquisite. While sometimes slow paced, it is very exciting. Full of plot twists and a lot of humanity. A great way to look at that time period during the Cold War. Highly recommended.
