This show is phenomenal. While in university I had the opportunity to take a year long class on espionage and this show is very close to reality. In fact, look up Anna Chapman, and you'll see that Russian's illegals had been sent to America even as late as 2010+. There was a whole ring of Russian spies living as citizens in deep cover busted back in 2010. It was brushed under the rug because Obama wanted to reset relations with Russia/Medvedev. Except they screwed up because they had to arrest the "illegals" just as the then Russian president Medvedev had left North America after a visit, which was like a slap in the face to the Russian. So much for a reset of relations. Instead of being arrested they did a spy swap. I think it was 4 americans for 10 russians. They were handed back instead of made to serve time for their crimes.
SO... this stuff really happens. Mind you the 2010 operation was a failure because Potayev was an informant over in Russia, and the FBI was watching the illegals all along for like a decade, building a case.
The acting in the show in astounding. The character development is excellent. The plots are believable. The show actually ends decently.
