Who exactly is "underrating" it?
The show always got glowing reviews and one of the most acclaimed shows in history.

The Americans was acclaimed by critics, many of whom considered it among the best television shows of its era; its writing, characters, and acting were often singled out. The series's final season earned Rhys the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, while Weisberg and Fields won Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series;[3] it also received the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama.[4][5][6] Margo Martindale twice won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her performances in the third and fourth seasons. It was one of the rare drama shows to receive two Peabody Awards during its run.[7] It has since been named one of the greatest television series of all time.

The show opens with Tusk and closes with With or Without You. I can’t hear either song without thinking of The Americans.

I just finished a complete series rewatch after seeing it for the first time about 6 years ago. I enjoyed it equally the second time. Amazing show!

Re-watching now and currently in season 4. It is my favorite show of all time. The season finale is the best I have ever seen.

I got tired of watching 5'4" 110 lbs Keri Russell manhandle grown adult trained FBI agents and cops but the first two seasons were great. The Russian secretary was a smokeshow:

Yeah I keep meaning to do a rewatch but I have so many other freaking shows to watch first! I watched that show weekly from episode 1 the first night it aired all the way to the end and loved it.

That silliness is almost inescapable.

I get this, it’s ridiculous in so many movies and shows, but I think they added a level of plausibility here. 1 she received training more like special forces, martial arts and intense hand to hand combat training. 2 the FBI agents and cops do not have that training (especially regular cops) they were mostly desk jockeys not former SEALS 3 she caught them by surprise in a most cases.

There is an older Made for TV Mini Series called Amerika that aired on ABC back in 1987 staring Robert Urich.
The 13 hour mini series is available on YouTube.

This was a great show. I might have to rewatch eventually but AppleTV has too much for me to watch right now.
ETA: Remove semi spoilers. My apologies.

She also took a lot of damage.
She was no Mary Sue

The Americans, Breaking Bad, and Justified found a way to start strong and somehow get stronger every season.
Enjoy the ride.

I think it was underrated by the general audience, it's up there with Breaking Bad and other shows but never had great viewership numbers.

Ok I watched the pilot tonight for the first time, and I’m in.
That was an excellent pilot. It was an hour and seven minutes and so much happened it felt like a two hour movie. And a great setup for a show/plot.
I have a feeling I may breeze through this. I already want to watch the second one but it’s getting late and I’m exhausted.

I think I've watched through 5 eps now. The first couple episodes I was confused on certain things because you're getting hit with a ton of story in a short time so it definitely helped to read the episode recap on wiki after. Still digging it though, there's not really any lulls.
