Two sleeper cell KGB agents in the USA operate in the Beltway in the waning days of the Cold War.
In and of itself, this is perhaps an amazing set-up. But, because this is from the Murdoch- owned FX, pathos are exchanged for idiotic stereotypes and reactionary dogma dressed as patriotism so to build the legend of that Greek god of the GOP, Ronald Reagan. The underlying message is that Reagan was a very good President and that it was feminists and blacks who were morally aiding the enemy in the Cold War days. The coded racism and the representation of black manhood is pathetic while women come off as either cold-blooded, wretched, wispy, or submissively Christian. It's worth a laugh, but not the stuff of high theater.
