re- #Watching #TheAmericans (now on Disney+ in Australia)

A spy drama about a couple of transplanted Russians living the American Dream so they can operate in plain sight.

This excellent drama series provides a fly-on-the-wall view of the Cold War, focusing on the Reagan era, allowing us to compare and contrast national mindsets, personal motivations, and economic and social systems of both the USA and the USSR.

The two main characters, Phillip and Elizabeth (hilarious choice of English names for Mischa and Nadezhda) are well drawn and multi-dimensional, and I couldn’t help but care about all of their personal dilemmas.

A third key character is their neighbour, Stan, who just happens to be an FBI agent. (If truth isn’t obliged to stick to possibilities, why ask the same of fiction? In any case, this works for me, cos the USA is just a fragile nation glued together by acronym-agencies anyway, isn’t it?)

9 out of 10.

15 days until I am in the cinema with bells on, watching my 4eva crush Keri Russell vs. #CocaineBear. Be nice to her, coke addled bear. I’ve been awful fond of her since #Felicity and I’ve still got #Antlers and #TheAmericans trauma.

I’m not thrilled with #TheRecruit and spy/CIA shows are my favorite genre. I loved #TheOldMan #TheAmericans, #Homeland and #Chuck.

Any recommendations? I have access to Netflix, Prime and Peacock. 🙏

I don't like #SuperHero movies, but #Marvel finally made one I like.

I am just going to pretend that #BlackWidow is really just the action movie that came from #TheAmericans TV series.

I don't have a singular definitive favourite of anything. Art and entertainment are so varied and eclectic and to define or identify myself with just one would be doing both myself and the art form a disservice.

For the purposes of this, however, I’ll give you one of my favourites and say: #TheAmericans

Het concept van The Patient zou in verkeerde handen kunnen leiden tot een potsierlijke serie, maar showrunners Joel Fields en Joe Weisberg voeren het subliem uit. Niet gek: ze maakten eerder #TheAmericans

Picture it: S̶i̶c̶i̶l̶y̶ ̶1̶9̶2̶2̶ Moonee Ponds, 1964:

We just got a new 2nd hand 17” B&W TV set, and there was a calendar on the wall marking whose turn it was to pick what we watched at 6:30 on Sunday Evening; and there were 𝟑 stations to choose from!!!

2022:
Now I just have Remote Control-itis 🙄

#ThisIsUs

#TheAmericans

#Ozark

#Bridgerton

#MysteryRoad (all of ‘em)

sigh … waiting to be completely absorbed again

Where can I find series similar to #TheAmericans?

@karoli
All of this about Musk reminds me of the series “The Americans”. Russian spy’s, pretend to be Americans, their histories are false and businesses are a cover.
