Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

twwilson-1 I remember seeing this series and liking it though I don't remember a lot of the content. One scene I do recall was an officer sitting on a horse writing a dispatch and asking another character how to spell "pizen" and when he said poison the officer asked incredulously " p-O-i"?!As I recall it was a well done series. I was just starting out as a re-enactor during the centennial and getting a uniform and attended my first reenactment that year at Phillipi, WV in June, after the last episode of the series had been shown in May. It would be nice if the series is released on DVD for the sesquicentennial and the 50th anniversary of the series.

bilbreycats I was just 13 years old but I vividly remember absolutely loving this series. I was very interested in the Civil War and this show helped to spur my interest even more. Darryl Hickman and Dick Davalos were wonderful actors. It's a shame the series didn't last longer than it did. At the time, I also watched Darryl's brother Dwayne's series - Dobie Gillis - and loved it for its comedic effect. But for all-round historic interest and dramatic effect, The Americans was 'way ahead of its time. Unfortunately, in 1961, I guess that wasn't what most American viewers wanted and its demise was inevitable. But I will always have fond feelings for this show and will never forget the anticipation I felt every week of waiting for it to appear on the television (in black and white, of course). Viewers today who are saturated with reality shows and DVRs and TIVOs will never be able appreciate the simplicity and honesty of this type of show.

nataliezuk7 I was a 10 year old, when "The Americans" screened in Australia - I watched every single episode, and was fascinated by the events that caused nation to fight against nation. I waited for re-runs of the series for years, and it never happened - it seemed all my friends in Australia loved the series, and we were disappointed when there was no follow-up series made. I have been trying to get a copy of the series, to no avail. I did manage to track down one episode on ebay, called "The Gun", and I still enjoyed it after all these years! I would love to get the whole series, if it were possible - can anyone help me? I have since become an avid fan of "Civil War " movies. I have copies of "Glory" staring Matthew Broderick, and also "Gettysburg" starring Tom Berenger. What ever happened to Richard Davalos? he was a great actor! Darryl Hickman seems to have carved his own niche in life, and I loved reading his book.

mattie5 I agree with the other respondents that this series, brief as it was, presented a moving and personal portrayal of the Civil War. I have wondered often why it has not been reshown on TV. The brother-against-brother theme was so poignant, and has continued to affect my views of any war.The two stars, Darryl Hickman and Dick Davalos, were perfect in their roles. I have always been impressed with the performances of Mr. Hickman, in particular, since his days as a child actor.
