The ideas behind the series are pretty apt. The actual function of an embedded Soviet agent in the US during this time was not quite so dramatic, but the range of things depicted, did happen.Much of what the series covers, I learned as a student of Russian propaganda in the 1970s, in an American university. The series occurs a few years later, but is still apt, for what I learned.What really frustrates me is that there should be a season 7, to finish off the hanging plot threads. There was hardliner opposition to Mikhail Gorbachev, but he was a protege of Yuri Andropov; KGB SVR & GRU were always at war with each other, so it's plausible enough.Given what's happening with Donald Trump now, this series is especially applicable; so I don't understand why there isn't funding for a season 7. Somebody should pick it up.

This is a really underrated series. It's a lot more subtle than other series in many ways. There is a lot of emotion, and there was never any bad acting. Ending was acceptable (no show really has a amazing ending that everyone can agree on) I wish they looked at a certain character more but apparently he isn't very important.

Over all this was a good series. I didn't have a problem saying goodbye, it was time....

Although I have found the series a bit repetitive over the years, the final season has been exceptional, with a beautiful final episode that will be always remember. I think is one of the shows that better uses the silence to explain things, and in the last episode music plays also a big role. The acting of Rhys, Russell and Emmerich is exceptional and I'd love to see them in the nominations and awards' lists.
