#3Surprised not a single mention of "The Americans" which sounds very similar (and a great show).
Edit: my bad. I did a search and it didn't return anything.

The article does mention "The Americans":
"If Tim and Alex’s story sounds eerily familiar to fans of The Americans, the television drama about a KGB couple living in the US with their two children, that’s because it’s partly based on them. ..."

I liked the 1st season and stopped watching in the middle of the 2nd one, felt that the writers deliberately tried to make the main characters less likable than they were in the beginning.

Except for this one:

Not sure what the purpose of your reply is. It's clear that you haven't read the article nor even bothered to ctrl+f, as that would reveal it is mentioned that the family was inspiration for the show.

I think they tried to use a softer introduction and then harden them up once the audience got to know them. They are brutal killers, you aren't necessarily supposed to like them.

They eventually reveal themselves to the daughter and she tells her priest. It's really pushing suspension of disbelief for me that the several additional mouths stay shut.

I actually did read most of the article and did a ctrl-f for "the americans" (with quotes) and the only instance it found was in a comment that also didn't see the reference. Sorry about that.
