I mean, you could never tell what people are going to like. But my wife and I loved The Americans. I can’t remember if it was an ABC series or a fox series, but it wasn’t a Netflix series. If I’m not mistaken all the episodes are on Amazon prime now.
Although it is fictional, it’s a story of Russian “illegals”... which are/were a very real thing during the Cold War, and even up through today.
No, I don’t think they’re as prevalent today, obviously, as Russia doesn’t have the resources and is only half the country it used to be, or less. Still, supposedly there are still some around. There was a ring of them that was busted just a few years ago. I think like two or three or four years ago.
The husband and wife are absolutely fantastic actors. You kind of empathize with them and hate them as well.
Try it, let me know what you think.
