Best series I have ever seen, I loved this show. Hands down the best finale ever.
Phillip and Elizabeth are very complex characters.

Through the second season. It was just TOO suspenseful for me...

Plus, once Phillip married the admin in the FBI Office I was just blown away...

seasons 1-4 on Amazon Prime. I see there are two more seasons. Goody.

Another show I enjoyed and watched Winter 2017-2018 was The Good Wife.

Had not watched TV at all for several years until started Amazon Prime in mid 2016. Discovered the pleasure of binge watching TV series sequentially. Bought a smart TV and a satellite account April 2018 mainly to watch Giants baseball and to have something to stare at when don't sleep well. What is good is to ignore the cable news programs but do check in on MSNBC on maybe twice a week.
