The Americans

On the verge of refusing to watch a seemingly pretty good show in Kevin Bacon's The Following, I started watching FX's The American's. It's very good. It made me wonder why I don't remember Keri Russell in anything other than knowing she was "Felicity". It made me wonder why I never knew who Matthew Rhys was, or really remember him in anything either. They are both phenomenal, and I love the premise. They are undercover KGB agents completely engrossed in American society. They have two children, "jobs" at a travel agency, and are seemingly completely normal. They carry out KGB missions while attempting to maintain normalcy in our society. You also recognize a few of the other characters like Noah Emerich, who I eternally remember as Coach Craig Patrick in Miracle. This has my recommendation to jump on the band wagon as another excellent program on FX. Bottom Line: I'm giving it around a high 7-low 8 right now. It's just really interesting and well done. It blends the complexities of the life of double agents living in another country. Really good stuff.
