Americans is one of the most successful TV series today. It follows the story of an American married couple who are in fact undercover KGB agents. Six years down the line and loyal viewers are still tuning in.
Elizabeth and Philip Jennings pretend they are a usual family with two kids, who live a run-of-the-mill life in the U.S. of the early 1980s. But they actually hunt Soviet defectors, steal top American secrets, prevent the use of biological weapon in their country, and even take part in big politics, changing the course of history.
They operate in a risky environment and are always in danger of being found out, especially since their neighbor is an FBI agent tasked with weeding out undercover Soviet agents in the country.
Americans aired its final season this year, where everything is revealed.
The protagonist of the British-made Killing Eve TV series is arguably the most interesting Russian character to emerge this year. Villanelle, aka Oksana Astankova, is a highly effective and dangerous assassin but she has mental issues and an obsession with brutality.
She finds out that MI5 agent Eve Polastri is leading a team hell bent on tracking her down. When Astankova gets the opportunity to take her out, she decides to embark on a game of cat and mouse instead - it will be much more fun.
Not much is known about forthcoming The Romanoffs but one thing is certain - there will be plenty of Russians involved.

The first episode is planned to be aired on Oct. 12 this year.
