Identity and Why You Should Watch: THE AMERICANS

Please, let's allow users to add subtitles. I need to translate into Russian

I fuckin loved this show..

This is my favorite TV drama. Of all time. Ever.

I would've liked Elizabeth to die and Phillip to get an American Life .

people are brutal

One of the best tv shows ever

Stationed in D.C. during the years of this show. Later worked at a computer store before technology kicked in. Watching this show takes me back to that time. Love Keri and the Russian woman who played and got played by her country and the country she worked in. Cool to see Richard Thomas in a role far removed from John Boy.

Must watch it

I haven't seen the series. There are articles on the Ranker site like '18 things Americans think are normal but are completely bizarre to other countries', 'Non-Americans describe the weirdest things about America' and "American things Americans didn't know were exclusively American". Hopefully the series brings out those points, but it probably doesn't.

I disagree. Elizabeth is a complete sociopath in the show and even her fake husband and her handlers see that.

One of my favourite shows ever

This show was a blast. I would never have watched it without (it being recommended)…although had it been titled, ‘The Soviets’, it would’ve piqued my interest. (Also, I said, about the hilariously named Philip and Elizabeth, ‘He ad-ores her.’ and then, it turned out: he DID! (The actors fell in love.) As Vince Gillian did for Jesse, if they want to revisit The Jennings, after the fall of the wall--I’m there!🌹👏🏾 My Father was FBI and he called the embassy ‘a hive of spies’…and some KGB and FBI agents DID meet and—socialized after the USSR was no more.

Best TV series by a distance. Everything from the nostalgic settings of the 80's to that realization that not everything is what it portrays to be.

In the near 90's I spent time in Russia whilst at the time being completely oblivious to much of the cold war that went before.

I strolled around the Kremlin like it was chiswick high street. Not truly appreciating what it represented. Likewise in St Petersburg. The internet truly peeled the scales from my eyes.

Learnt more east west history than I ever did at school.

If today I had to choose one complete series to be marooned on an island with, it would still be the Americans. Even though I've watched it gazillion times.

A masterpiece.

Lame video
I almost didn’t even watched this show because of you

Started watching after this video. Binged it in two weeks. It. Was. Beautiful 😭✨ thanks for the recommendation.. now i re-watch your video to relive the journey 🌼✨

Can you do banshee, it's probably the best and most underrated show of all time

Great Post.
It would be possible to make a text about the best showtime series; Homeland (2011-2020)?

ive been really interested in watching this show for a long time but i never started it so far because i'm a history student and i'm worried the show will portray the cold war as "america vs the bad guys" but this is giving me some hope honestly

The only problem is you could never sustain this for so long, if you killed somone as an agent you would do the job and be back in russia. Look at the sailsbury novichok poisoning case. I think this is why I stopped watching it half way through I was like come on , you’ve killed more people than Americans too serial killers and your still undetected by top FBI agents? It just lost its appeal to me when the kills just went up and up , it got fantastical rather than serious reality it was in the beginning.

This story, although a fictional account is based on true events. Can't help but wonder where the writers created the idea from and if they know how accurate they are.

I just finished watching for the 3rd time. Thank you

I think the Americans was a great show. I think it was respectful of both American and Russian cultures. I don't think the show supported one particular ideology over another. It really was about watching the lives of two people in a very unusual circumstance

This show tanked after they killed Nina …..I called it the Paige Diaries 😩

This is my favorite show of all time.

still waiting for the americans deep dive! just got back into this show again and i'm even more impressed the second time around

This show is so great.

Still waiting for that deep dive 😅

best trade craft show evermade..

One of my favorite shows EVER

I watched it. Loved it. I hope to see a special updating the characters sometime. Especially Martha.

Iys the best program on TV I watch it several so clever and brilliant

First, I Love The Americans. Second, great video and commentary! Third: I just watched the first part of Cocaine Bear!!! How hilarious that Phillip is in the very first scene, Elizabeth shows up next, and then Granny is a park ranger! And the kid they're looking for is named Henry! That's only the first 10 or 15 minutes... I have to finish it 😁

The best TV show ever (behind The Sopranos).

Amazing show

This is a fantastic show. It's all plausible and yet to us innocents of their world completely surreal.

It's addictive. I binged a lot of it.

It's a great show. Well worth the watch.

SUPERB analysis. I missed a lot sharing about this serie because it is genial and too few people see that.

Algo!!!

Great vid

Watched it on HULU . Cannot recommend it enough.

Great video and I truly want to watch these series. Wow

such a great show and video, and it's no wonder people didn't watch that much

The Americans is a must watch. Much like The Green Mile, or Schindler's list stuff like that. Doesn't matter if you like it or not (you will like it), you absolutely must watch it.

This country does not think enough for this hacker I don’t believe in this I am Spy

Super underrated show no 🧢

Your video is amazing! You explain effectively the idea that you chose and I'm impressed on how you can think of a lot of TV shows in a different angle (wish I could do that). The editing's amazing as well for being your sixth video. You're doing a great job! Oh, and good timing; just before the fifth season! I started watching the show last year and am already on season 4. It's truly amazing and yeah, probably the best drama on TV right now. Just subscribed as well, can't wait for your next work.
