Another heads up. Currently re-running on ITV late Friday. Caught the pilot last week as I remembered someone saying it was a good watch. I'm enjoying it. Quite a lot. Good, strong acting, well written and good sub plots which you are just waiting to take on a life of their own.

It's quite violent and dark in places, but where it needs to be. Well worth a watch.

Quote:A pair of deep-cover Soviet spies masquerades as a typical DC couple whose children, neighbors, coworkers & friends are completely unaware of their activities. At home, they're the stereotypical parents of stereotypical kids; at work, they pose as travel agents; but at night, they weave a web of confidants, lovers, dupes, and historical figures from the Reagan-era Cold War. The startlingly realistic plot twists force the viewer to consider the real cost of an undeclared war, what it takes to protect one's beliefs, if it's worth it, and if it actually worked for either side.
