10 TV Shows You Should Be Watching Right Now

4. The Americans

The Americans is one of the great underseen TV dramas of the decade, with FX's lauded period spy series watched by fewer than one million viewers on average across its last two seasons.

That's unlikely to change, but the show deserves eyes on it as it comes to an end with its sixth and final series. That airs at the end of March, so it's time to start catching up before it lands.

The show, about a pair of Soviet spies in the USA in the 1980s, is as much a deeply satisfying family drama as it is a thrilling espionage series, and even though the fifth season was a bit rocky, seeing what the final destination is should be fascinating.
