IMDb Picks: Old-School Cool TV9 of 18
"The Americans" | Watch Now on Prime Video
Plot: At the height of the Cold War two Russian agents pose as your average American couple, complete with family.
Our Take: The tension and uncertainty of Cold War America is fascinating to watch through the eyes of two Russian spies living undercover in suburban D.C. Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys give killer performances again and again throughout the show’s six-season run, but the countless characters they play within their existing roles (and the epic 80s disguises that go with them) make the pair that much more impressive. Is there a wig they can't pull off? — Hannah
