It’s okay to love the KGB moles Philip and Elizabeth. Season one of FX’s Reagan-era spy drama revealed that the two spies, though living in suburban America, in a Moscow-arranged marriage, might be capable of creating a lasting love story. Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell star in the series, which itself has the makings of an enduring franchise: a Mad Men–esque attention to period aesthetics, an ability to integrate real history into its plotlines, and a central relationship that’s most interesting when its two spies step away from the Cold War.
