THE AMERICANS
FX, 10:00 p.m. ET
Episode two of this new FX series gets to move forward, after establishing the characters, conflicts and premise in last week’s outing. Tonight, Soviet sleeper agents Elizabeth and Phillip Jennings (Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys) embark on a dangerous mission to bug the office of a top U.S. official – while, at home, Phillip has an unexpectedly “neighborly” encounter with FBI agent Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich), who has moved in across the street – and who, this week, is the most intriguing aspect of this series that’s all about intrigue.
