The Americans Get A Second Season

If you have not had the chance to see the new FX show The Americans then you are missing out on a fascinating story about a KGB family undercover in Reagan's Washington.  I discussed the show in an earlier entry before having seen the show and I was was hooked after viewing the pilot.  Keri Russel and Matthew Rhys are superb as the KGB couple with their own internal issues while being watched by their masters and outrunning their American counterparts.  I would put it in the same category as AMC's Rubicon, though the former was more of an indoor show while the latter has plenty of high-energy outside drama.  Unlike Rubicon, The Americans is getting a second season.  This is great news for all of us.
