"The Americans" is one of those rare television events that combines the very best of acting performances, thoughtful, suspenseful and exhilarating scripts, great camerawork, beautiful locations and directors who make the most of all production elements. I was saddened that it had to end, but to own the complete series now means that I can re-watch it all and enjoy it over again from the beginning. If you have never seen an episode of "The Americans", avail yourself of this opportunity to buy and view an absolutely marvelous series.

This is another movie I rented from Netflix at the insistence of my mother. It appears she has become my movie previewer! I loved the series and eagerly awaited my discs in the mail. I devoured it and then could barely wait for more! when I saw that it was available for purchase, at a very reasonable price, I decided I just had to have it! I will binge watch it this winter when we are snowed in.

It really makes one think if this really goes on. The cast was great as was the plot of each episode, the entire series kept me in suspense. There is no doubt in my mind that after seeing this the cat and mouse game is for real, I would highly recommend it to a friend.

Fantastic history of what it was like to live in the USA and Russia during the height of the Cold War. Gives great insight of the Soviet mindset of American events of the period. A little far fetched but wonderful from a historical standpoint.

The Americans is one of the best stories ever told on tv. From acting, to writing, to directing, this shows delivers in every aspect. It definitely has its fair share of action, but it is a slow-burn story. It's truly a masterpiece of cinema.
