The AmericansThe Americans, trailerOh look, those Soviet Sleepers are back. This time appearing weekly on the
FX Network in the States. No doubt a spin off from the successful FBI Investigation,
called
Operation Ghost Stories, which culminated in the arrest of 10
Russian deep cover agents in the United States, including the femme fatale
of Russian Spies, Anna Chapman.
Created by American writer Joe Weisberg, The Americans is Cold War drama set
in the 1980's where Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings are an undercover team of
Soviet intelligence agents, working deep cover in the heartland of the United
States. Their true identities are a secret to everyone, even their own children,
Paige and Henry.
Of course its not a patch on the British version of Sleepers, starring Nigel
Havers and Warren Clarke but interesting nevertheless,
