TV on same level as The Americans is hard, because it's by far the best show I've seen.
But try Ozark - excellent and the actress who plays Kimmie is in it. Homeland. Deutschland 83 & Deustchland 86 (86 is basically the second season of Deutschland 83, and there will be an 89 as well). The Handmaid's Tale.
As far as books:
Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking by Anya von Bremzen - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C0ALX7M/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr= - About cooking, yes, but also about everyday life in the USSR. Very sweet.
Everything Flows by Vasily Grossman - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003K15IE4/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr= - This book (thinly veiled fiction) is a straightforward, but absolutely devastating read about Soviet-style totalitarianism and how everyday people made accommodations to be able to live in such a society. An amazing book. I'm on the stoic side as a reader, but there is one scene in there that catches me at the back of the throat every time I think of it.
The Charm School by Nelson Demille - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000SEGDRW/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr= - Honestly, this is no great work of literature, but a spy thriller focused on a Soviet school that trains spies to be "Americans"
Two more writers of note: Anne Applebaum and Svetlana Alexievich. Both write approachable non-fiction about Russia and have multiple, amazing books to check out.
