The Americans (2013 TV series)

The Americans is an American television period drama

series created and produced by former CIA ocer Joe
Weisberg.[1] The series premiered in the United States
on January 30, 2013, on the cable network FX, and concluded its third season on April 22, 2015.

mistake, has helped him develop several storylines in the

series,[7] basing some plot lines on real-life stories,[7] and
integrating several things he learned in his training, such
as dead drops and communication protocols.[8] Weisberg
was fascinated by stories he had heard from agents who
served abroad as spies, while raising their families.[8] He
was interested in bringing that concept to television, with
the idea of a family of spies, rather than just one person.[8]
Weisberg also told how the CIA inadvertently gave him
the idea for creating a series around spies, explaining,
While I was taking the polygraph exam to get in, they
asked the question, 'Are you joining the CIA in order to
gain experience about the intelligence community so that
you can write about it later'which had never occurred
to me. I was totally joining the CIA because I wanted to
be a spy. But the second they asked that question ... then
I thought, 'Now I'm going to fail the test.'"[9]

Set during the Cold War period in the early 1980s, The
Americans is the story of Elizabeth (Keri Russell) and
Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys), two Soviet KGB ocers
posing as an American married couple living in the
northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. with their
unsuspecting children (Holly Taylor and Keidrich Sellati)
and their neighbor, Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich), an
FBI agent working in counterintelligence.[2]
On March 31, 2015, FX renewed the series for a fourth
season consisting of 13 episodes to premiere in 2016.[3]

1.1

Weisberg was partially inuenced by the events of the

Illegals Program to write a pilot script for the series. His
research material included notes on the KGBs Cold War
left by Vasili Mitrokhin and conversations with some of
his former colleagues at the CIA.[4] He stated that, unlike
the circumstances involving the Illegals Program (which
culminated in 2010), he had opted to set the story in the
early 1980s because a modern day [setting] didn't seem
like a good idea, adding, People were both shocked and
simultaneously shrugged at the [2010] scandal because it
didn't seem like we were really enemies with Russia anymore. An obvious way to remedy that for television was
to stick it back in the Cold War. At rst, the '70s appealed
to me just because I loved the hair and the music. But can
you think of a better time than the '80s with Ronald Reagan yelling about the evil empire?"[4]

Production
Conception

The Americans was created by Joe Weisberg, a former

CIA ocer.[1] Despite its spy setting, Weisberg aimed
to tell the story of a marriage.[4] The series focuses on
the personal and professional lives of the Jennings, sometimes incorporating real-life events into the narrative.
The shows creator has described the series as being ultimately about a marriage.[5] "The Americans is at its core a
marriage story. International relations is just an allegory
for the human relations. Sometimes, when you're struggling in your marriage or with your kid, it feels like life or
death. For Philip and Elizabeth, it often is.[6] Executive
producer Joel Fields described the series as working different levels of reality: the ctional world of the marriage
between Philip and Elizabeth, and the real world involving the characters experiences during the Cold War.[6]

After reading Weisbergs novel, An Ordinary Spy, executive producer Graham Yost discovered that Weisberg had
also written a pilot for a possible spy series. Yost read the
pilot and discovered that it was annoyingly good, which
led to the beginning of motions to develop the show.[10]

The most interesting thing I observed during my time at

the CIA was the family life of agents who served abroad
with kids and spouses. The reality is that mostly they're
just people going about their lives. The job is one element, and trying to depict the issues they face just seemed
like something that, if we could bring it to television in a
realistic way, would be new.

1.2 Casting

Weisberg stated that he had no idea about who would

star in the series before casting began.[11] FX president
John Landgraf had the idea to cast Keri Russell in the
series.[11] Leslie Feldman, the head of casting at DreamJoe Weisberg, creator and showrunner of The Ameri- Works, saw Matthew Rhys in a play and suggested him to

Season 1 follows Stan Beeman turning Nina Krilova into
an American spy in the Rezidentura. After Beeman kills
Vlad, a young and inexperienced KGB ocer in retaliation for his partners murder, Nina becomes a triple agent,
confessing to the Rezident. The season ends after Nina
blows an operation to capture Elizabeth picking up a dead
drop under surveillance, but Elizabeth is shot and badly
wounded.
Season 2 follows the Jennings attempting to capture technology and data relating to the United States eorts to
develop stealth aircraft. At the same time, Elizabeth and
Philip attempt to solve the murders of two other Directorate S operatives, Leanne and Emmet. Believing that
Captain Larrick, a Navy SEAL, is responsible, they agree
to free him from blackmail after he gets them access to a
training camp for Nicaraguan Contras. At the end of the
season, it is revealed that Jared, Leanne and Emmets son,
murdered them after they discovered he'd been recruited
by the KGB. They are then approached by Claudia, their
handler, who informs them that their daughter Paige has
been selected as the next recruit, under a program to develop Second Generation Illegals who can pass background checks and presumably be hired by the FBI and
the CIA.

Over the course of its run, the series has received

critical acclaim,[26][27][28][29][30][31] with several publications in 2014 naming it one of the best shows on
television.[32][33][34] The rst season of The Americans received positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it received a 90 percent approval rating from critics
based on 48 reviews,[29] while Metacritic scored the show
a 78 out of 100 based on 35 reviews.[26] The American
Film Institute listed it as one of the top ten television series of 2013.[35] Rob Brunner of Entertainment Weekly
described it as an absorbing spy thriller[36] while David
Hinkley of the New York Daily News praised the pace,
noting that Its a premise that requires as much clever
dramatic footwork as you might expect, and creator Joe
Weisberg, a former CIA agent, handles the challenge.[37]
Verne Gay of Newsday called it a smart newcomer with
a pair of leads that turns The Americans into a likely winner and gave it a grade of an A-".[38]

Some reviews were not as optimistic. The Washington Post was cautious in its outlook, stating how, its

have rated the show among the best television for 2014,
including the American Film Institute, The A.V. Club,
and Grantland.[32][33][34] Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter called the series one of televisions nest
dramas and praised the ability of the writers in nailing
down season two... by picking up where the story left
o and making sure that this spy-vs.-spy thing has reallife costs.[41] Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
praised the series for doing the near-impossible of making viewers cheer for Russian spies in America and at the
same time for the American FBI agents who are trying
to unmask those Russians living in suburbia.[42] Alan
Sepinwall of HitFix praised the second season, stating
how the show has, taken a major creative leapthe kind
that can elevate a show from a strong example of its era
to one that transcends eras.[43]
