The Canadians

201721m

In this spoof of FX's The Americans, in the midst of the completely expected US-Canadian Cold War during the Trump Administration, two CIA sleeper agents pose as ordinary, married Canadians. Fiery patriot Elise and sensitive snowflake Felipe are called to fight the Red Maple Menace from within, and tensions freeze over. Between assassinating a famous Liberal, discovering their new neighbor is a Mountie, and navigating their own rocky marriage, Felipe and Elise are always treading on thin ice – sometimes literally.
