Wie geht's?
Kak dila?
We'd watched the first three seasons a few years ago and then I bought seasons four to six from JB HiFi just after lockdown returned us to normal.
The show's basic premise is that during the 1980s two Russian KGB agents pose as your average American couple, complete with family to spy and work for 'the centre'. In season one, an FBI agent moves in next door and the tension mounts.
Steadily, until the resolution of all the plot lines (or almost all of them) in the sixth and last season.

Weirdly, at times you find yourself rooting for the death dealing Russian spies and not the FBI.
It's great television (the leads - Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, are brilliant actors) and as the show has a finite end point, the story is resolved.
Like all TV shows it has it's highs and lows, but each season builds to the last one, which we've just finished.
Like Schitt$ Creek, The Americans goes out on a high, without any loss of creative Quality (yes, capital Q).
