This Mega-Hit US Series about Russian Spies is Slick Russophobia (The Americans)

Just renewed for a 4th season, The Americans is a huge critical and popular success, with the latest season getting an unusual 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with one critic saying: “one of the best runs of episodes in TV drama history.”[49]
Oh, yeah, and it's produced and conceived of by a former CIA agent, and it happens to be really Russophobic

The Cold War is back, and it makes for great television! 
If you like cloak-and-dagger tales with plenty of suspense and intrigue then look no further than The Americans; just get ready for a heavy dose of propaganda to go with your entertainment.…

Me too. I can't believe the stupidity of this. It fell apart under Clinton and the influence of Zbig. They Bush/Cheney drove it over a cliff, and Obama took the cue and is headed for the abyss.
