Matthew Rhys plays a Russian spy on FX’s The Americans (Wednesdays, 10/9C) – a series that manages to persuade its audience to identify with (if not exactly cheer for) a married couple whose ultimate goal is absorption of the United States into communism.

FX has another top notch show on its hands with Fargo (Tuesdays, 10/9C) – an expansion of the Coen Brothers’ hit movie. By expansion, I mean it tells an entirely new story, with all new characters, in the Minnesota of the movie – and it’s so good it earned the Coen Brothers’ blessing.
