Did anyone watch the fx tv show "The Americans"?

I watched from finish to start. Ms. Butina could have been one of the characters.

Catch it on VOD if you can. Last and final season was just a couple of months ago.

Good show.

You find yourself rooting for the spies AND the FBI agents. How cool is that?

Never had a bad season. It was just terrific from start to finish. Even the ending was great.

It really captured what it was like to live in the Reagan era.

And yes, Ms. Butina would have definitely set off Stan Beeman's alarm bells.
