With its covert Russian operatives, frustrated American intelligence agents and web of spy intrigue, there isn’t a more timely piece of popular entertainment currently airing than The Americans.
Set in the Cold War 1980s, the television drama kicks off its fifth season March 7 following the exploits of two Soviet spies living undercover in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. The hit series has won numerous awards for its portrayal of the tense political and social landscape — one with striking parallels to modern-day America.
For Canadian viewers, there’s just one problem: The Americans can’t be found on any legal streaming service here.
