Is it for me?
Spy drama for viewers who would take a marriage under strain over a gunfight. Philip passes himself off as a Swedish intelligence officer to charm a woman who can get him into a defense official's office, and the couple hides a listening device inside a clock there. Keri Russell plays Elizabeth hard and exact, and Matthew Rhys makes Philip a believable suburban dad.
Before you start
Season one takes a few episodes to settle; each episode pairs a spy job of the week with family scenes and a slower FBI thread.
6 seasons, 75 episodes, 60 min each, about 77 hours so far
