‘The Americans’ Is the Perfect Show for ‘Breaking Bad’ Fans

As a huge TV fan, I remember when Breaking Bad was the show everyone was talking about – seriously intense and full of surprises. A few years later, another series came along that a lot of us thought could eventually become just as big a cultural phenomenon. It’s got just as many unforgettable characters, moments that genuinely shock you, and really clever ideas woven throughout. And honestly, even though it’s been on the air for 13 years, I think it holds up incredibly well – maybe even more so now than when it first came out.
