I absolutely loved the Americans! Great storyline and excellently cast...Matthew Rhys was brilliant as Philip Jennings. He was nerdy, sexy, funny, cold blooded, clever and compassionate all rolled into one. Martha's character and storyline was one of my favorites. The one downside was Paige. I found her character very annoying. Overall one of the best series I've watched in a while. Easily fall in personal top 10 or better list.
