The Americans.

   The Americans ran for six seasons on FX with showrunners Joe Weisberg, a former CIA agent, and Joel Fields.  It was a show about two Russian spies who embedded themselves in Washington D.C. during the Reagan administration, raising two children and running a travel agency as cover.  The show was successful on a number of levels, as a procedural about complex spy operations as well as a low-key essay on what it means to be a citizen of one country while living in another and undermining it.  I think one was sympathetic to Russian spies Elizabeth and Phillip (Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys) because of the show's unusual point of view, i.e., America seen through Russian eyes.  I worked for "The Nation" in the 80's and in those days there was still a great deal of sympathy for Russia.  I even heard James Weinstein, editor of "In These Times", say that he sympathized with Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs if they were in fact guilty of spying because he would have done the same thing himself.   Who can say whether they really know who was truly in favor of peace?

 Elizabeth and Phillip killed at least a dozen people, most of them innocent, to protect and further their ends.  To them Reagan was as dangerous to the Russians as he seemed to think the Russians were to us and yet one felt torn when Elizabeth and Phillip recruited their own daughter Paige into spying, though their daughter choose to stay in America when her parents flee to Russia after being exposed by a neighbor who worked  for the FBI and thought Phillip was his friend.  The show was a successful period piece that dealt with the politics of the time while generously allowing the viewer to come to his own conclusions.
