OK, if you haven't done so already - all you '80's fans out there owe it to yourselves to check out "The Americans", a cold war drama currently in it's 5th season on TV; there is one more season planned after this one. This is a superb series set in the early 1980's Washington D.C. area. The show follows two spies who have assimilated themselves into U.S. society.

Excellent depiction of the early '80's era, right down to the cars, hair-styles, clothes, and attitudes. Amazing rock/pop soundtrack as well.

Though the show is great for anyone, those of us who grew up during this era will especially appreciate the series.

I'm guessing I responded to this back in the day, before the "reset." I love this series! I also think it got better as it went on, especially the last few seasons. I still think about the finale from time to time. I thought it was so good. Highly recommend if you haven't seen it. I look forward to watching it again someday.
