Personal Consumer Issues • Television Series worth a second/third+ go around?

Ok, let's go 1 layer deeper.

WHY do you like the TV series so much that you watch it 3 or more times?
The characters, the writing, the plot, the setting, something else?

• Premise: A Russian spy couple living among us as "Americans" and doing suburban activities and running a travel agency by day, seducing/compromising Americans by night
• Setting: an inspired location -- a Northern Virginia suburb next to the nation's capital and as happenstance would have it, living next door to a FBI counterintelligence agent
• Characters, cast, acting: all excellent, especially Keri Russell, and some unforgettable secondary characters
• Diverse and fascinating subplots
• Family complications actually relevant to the plot and adding both suspense and dark humor
• The intrigue involved in maintaining double lives - disguises, multiple personas, special technologies allowing secret communications with Moscow
