This show stars Keri Russell (Felicity) and Matthew Rhys as a Russian Couple who have been sent to the U.S. as sleeper agents to raise a family and spy on the U.S. for twenty years. The show takes place in the D.C. area (where I grew up) in the 1980's as the Reagan Administration was turning the screws to the Soviet Union. The show is fast paced and sometimes confusing, but I enjoy it.

In this season another sleeper couple has been murdered and that leads Philip and Elizabeth Jennings to fear for the safety of their own family. Nina continues to manipulate FBI Agent Stan into doing her bidding until he must face a choice between betraying his country and the woman he loves.

The acting is good and the action is fast-paced. We will definitely be watching Season 3 when it comes out on the Netflix Disks.

Matthew Rhys. I am not that into Keri Russell in this, although I did like her in Felicity.

it is a fast paced action thriller with an original premise. People don't know who might be double and triple agents, but the motto of "Trust No One" seems to permeate all that happens to the Jennings.
