Keri Russell plays a Soviet mole hiding out in the Washington, D.C. suburbs in 1981 in the new FX show “The Americans.” I couldn’t decide if it was suitably laughable or maybe not quite laughable enough. My review is up.

… a little “Red Dawn” on the Potamac?
If only. It would be interesting to speculate on what TV programs would represent a conservative political POV these days. At least we can dream, right?
My vote would be a conservative version of the British “The New Statesman”.

but you gotta admit that Keri is kinda hot, and I love the special touches like a very old JohnBoy Walton as an FBI agent, and the goofy buddy from ‘Truman Show’. And when was the last time you saw hot sex on an Oldsmobile bench seat after dissolving the bad guy in acid….Just remember that the first epi of BreakinBad had Bryan running around in his jockeys, and look where that series went….

Solid review, Kyle. Though, they live in Falls Church, VA., not Bethesda, MD.
