(c) FX

Have you ever imagined spy agent living next door as your neighbor? I watched The Americans (FX)  Season 1 Episode 1. It's a spy thriller about two soviet spies(married couple) living in the Washington DC as normal American at Reagan age in 80s.
It starts Philip and Elizabeth kidnapping a betrayer(KGB) and then they hid him at their garage, which especially makes story outline. One day FBI agent Stan(FBI Counterintelligence agent) moved in next door as their neighbor. It also shows how to make the story more thrilling. In conclusion, It could be immersed in the series in the blink of an eye and lead to run full episode on weekend. I think its plot is well-organized and character's depiction over psychological condition is excellent. The mixture of spy agent and normal neighbor, It is trivial fun to see Philip's disguise, as well.
