Before I start fawning about what a masterpiece of a show The Americans is, let me preface with this. I’m not shy about the fact that Game of Thrones is my favorite show ever. It’s number one — GOAT. Enough said. So, since it’s pretty difficult to top the best, it’s often more interesting and even easier for me to talk about the other shows that are in my Top 5 and Top 10 favorites.
The Americans, which can be found on FX and binge watched on Amazon Video, safely occupies my number 2 spot. But the only reason The Americans has to be relegated to number 2 is just because Game of Thrones exists. In a world without HBO and George RR Martin, The Americans would reign supreme.
