Daily Billboard simply adores these bold red ad creatives for the sophomore season of FX's Cold War sleeper agent spy thriller, The Americans.
Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell return as 'Philip' and 'Elizabeth Jennings', KGB spies living a suburban charade in 1980's U.S.A., embroiled in government espionage, dangerous missions and brutal encounters, all whilst raising their all-American children.
This season will see the married undercover spies struggling to protect their young children from increasingly risky assignments, all the while living across the street from their FBI agent neighbour, 'Stan Beeman' (played by Noah Emmerich).
If you like old-school spy craft, like dodgy disguises, torture, brutal hand-to-hand combat and a wonderfully devious Margo Martindale, all mixed in with some big 80's hair and flares, then you're sure to love this highly addictive series if you haven't discovered it already (The Goldbergs 80's-based sitcom this ain't).
These vibrant red billboards certainly evoke the Soviet spirit, and whilst modern Russia is probably best avoided with all its abhorrent human rights violations, this thrilling series is definitely must-see television.
The powerful all-red and black version was spied along the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood on February 3, whilst the ad creative with the white title logo was spotted along Melrose Avenue two days earlier, plus along Beverly Boulevard on February 12, 2014.

If you're a fan of the FX period spy drama, be sure to also check out these fantastic season one billboards for The Americans, which were an homage to Soviet Cold War propaganda imagery.
