The Americans is a drama about the complex marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington DC in the early 1980's. The arranged marriage of Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings, who have two children who know nothing about their parents' true identity, grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but is constantly tested by the escalation of the Cold War and the intimate, dangerous and darkly funny relationships they must maintain with a network of spies and informants under their control.
