The Americans (i'm sure spoilers will be added)

During the past few weeks, I finally started watching and completed the show "The Americans" this morning.

First of all, I must state that this is now a top ten show of all time for me. It was intense but slow at times, perfect for a binge watching experience.

I started watching it when it first aired, but this was before I had DVR or AMAZON PRIME to watch it all at once, so I just couldn't keep up with its time slot every week and make it a point to watch, so I just let it go from my viewing schedule. So I'm glad it was available to watch now. Plus my wife had an unusual hate for Kerri Russell, maybe from Felicity days (I don't know), but she constantly complained about her hair being pushed to one side of her head for some reason, hahahaha.

anyway, the performances of all the main characters throughout the show, especially Matthew Rhys (which I now consider one of the finest actors in the last few years) are incredible, and also Noah Emmerich.

with the way they webbed together the real events of America being all in modern day "red scare" of the day along with actual events like the "star wars" plan and the old guard communists wanting to get rid of the progressive Gorbachev was very interesting.

Put that with a great 80's soundtrack and actually spy intrigue and espionage was just a pleasure to watch.

Since I just finished I just wanted others opinions on the show and bring up points that you either loved or wished the show would have elaborated on more.
