Dramas set back in time.

I just saw an advertisement for a new series coming called The Americans. It's set back in the 80's and the main couple are KGB agents undercover in America. Does anyone else have issues with buying into the premise now that the world is so different than it was 30 years ago?

Well look at it this way. They're called FSB agents now instead KGB, so that's different. Looks like after Homelands success, every network wants their own spy series.

Wow, shocked me when you just said 30 years ago. I had to think about it. It sure doesn't seem like the 80s happened 30 years ago. Where has the time gone? To answer your question, yes the world has changed so much it's crazy!

I agree that the '80s don't seem like they were 30 years ago. However, much has changed since then. Just look at technological advancements alone; the changes are dizzying.
