Have you tried “The Americans”? It’s about deep cover Soviet Spies in the 80s. It’s a great show. It’s a very adult show, some pretty explicit sex for whatever network it was originally on. Maybe it’s an FX show? Don’t know but you can watch in on Amazon I think.

It’s really excellent. The spies are the protagonists, but it still shows you the horror of Communism. And very much brings back that era.

I haven’t watched any of the shows you mention (I think hubby has watched some of them) but I’ll always recommend The Americans.

Have you tried “The Americans”?

YES! Finished that series about a month ago. Was sorry to see it end. It was really good stuff and from what I read, the spy tradecraft was pretty accurate to the time period the show was portraying.

The Americans is an amazing show. It is obviously fictional but based on a real historical spy program. The characters are excellent, and I’ve never seen another TV show or movie that gets Russia, Russians (and their mentality), and the Russian language so spot-on accurate.
