- TriviaThe premise of this series is partly based on the true story that broke in 2010 of a cell of Russian Sleeper agents who had been "hiding in plain sight" in the United States for decades (also known as the "Spy Swap of 2010"). Several of them had children, coworkers, friends, and neighbors who all had no idea that they were spies. These agents were ultimately returned to Russia in a trade for some Americans that Russia was holding.

Featured review
I've heard about this show countless times mostly in the US media.
I figured it was a very politicized show with the same old message
"US = Good, RU = Evil" This is what kept me from giving the series a go.
Only in late 2018 I've started watching and to my surprise It's not the case.
The show manages to give a fair and near unbiased view about Geo-politics, fractions, countries. espionage, ideologies.
Without telling you what to think or how to feel about it.
It doesn't demonize any side neither does it glorify the other.
For those whom refuse(d) to watch for the same reasons as me, if still curious just give it a try! It's actually a good show
