The Americans just debuted it's third season.
Really quality show, if you're into that 80s Cold War thing.
Story told from the POV of Russian spies implanted very young as a married couple in the suburban beltway.
Does a good job of capturing the mood of the time, showing the technological limitations and pending breakthroughs that made spycraft so hard, yet so important. Also, shows the torn allegiances between America clearly providing them and their family a better life, while blaming the deprivations in the homeland on America itself.
Doesn't pull a lot of punches. You'll want to kill for the 'protagonists' in one instance and cry your eyes out for them the next.
