Summary:

"The Americans, from executive producer Joe Weisberg, is the critically acclaimed series about the complex marriage of two KGB spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington D.C. shortly after Ronald Reagan is elected President. The series is centered on Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth (Keri Russell) Jennings, who have two children - 13-year-old Page (Holly Taylor) and 10-year-old Henry (Keidrich Sellati), who know nothing about their parents' true identity. The arranged marriage of Philip and Elizabeth grows more passionate and genuine by the day, but is constantly tested by the escalation of the Cold War and the intimate, dangerous and darkly funny relationships they must maintain with a network of spies and informants under their control. This boxset contains all 6 seasons of "one of television's greatest series"--Container.
