Product description
Season 2 of the Cold War drama centres on the complex marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington D.C. shortly after Ronald Reagan is elected President. The arranged marriage of Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) - who have two children who know nothing about their parents’ true identity - grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but is constantly tested by the escalation of the Cold War and the intimate and dangerous relationships they must maintain with a network of spies and informants under their control.

Enter here a world where duplicity is all, so many not what they seem.
Thirteen episodes, many disguises convincingly donned as information is uncovered, enemies removed, recruits sought. Elizabeth remains ruthless, dedicated to the cause. Philip is uneasy as killings mount.
Brooding and suspenseful. Complicated too - full attention needed. The season begins with horrendous carnage which has repercussions all the way through - culminating in a shock few (if any) will anticipate.
A tour de force for Teri Russell and Matthew Rhys as Elizabeth and Philip, they heading a cast where all emerge with credit.
Bonuses reveal that more than viewers might realize is based on actual instances - even the ones that seem most far-fetched. They pose the question can such sleepers still be around?
A thought-provoking delve into a very murky world, loyalties tested to the full. Viewers' loyalties also. Should we really be rooting for those representing the enemy? It is a tribute to writers and actors that many of us perhaps do.
'The Americans' ranks easily among the best TV shows I have ever watched: remarkable psychological bent, strong writing, textured production values, outstanding acting and an unrelenting care for the details that make it perfectly realistic.
From what I hear, 'The Americans' is not a crowd-pleaser. Too bad. I only wish we had more psychological dramas on TV and less violence and gore.
As before, the Martha and Clark side story adds some light relief. That poor girl has the patience of a saint, living alone in her secret relationship, but she believes in Clark, so is prepared to accept it.
If you liked the first series, the good news is that this one is just as good.
Generally only those who deserve death suffer; but there are casualties of the truth on both sides. This is a great series that allows the US to look at it's own dark side and see themselves as unfortunately others often see them. I hope they continue this series honestly; although I suspect there are pressures to write another "Mom and apple pie" ending that will not reflect the situation that both America and the rest of the world finds itself in today. Great performances from all involved; and good camera work
And it's a story easy to love, off-beat and unnerving and with an attention to 1980s details which are fascinating to notice. Convincing acting, an authentic 'feel' and Russians speaking their language over sub-titles gives it a feeling of believability lacking in (too) many thrillers.
