The Americans

[Richard Chuggar]

A very interesting plot twist.  I can believe that a spy cell would intimidate their own if they suspect that the spies are turning.  But if the spies retaliate don't they demonstrate that they can no longer be trusted?  What now? Do they try to  run?  Do they become double agents?  Do they become even more outlaw than they already are?  (I can't imagine why they threw in the (almost) kidnapping of the kids.)

I think they just wanted to show kids the dangers of hitchhiking. The guy they found to play the creepy hitchhiker couldn't have played it more brilliantly. He was, in fact, quite creepy.

It will be interesting going forward, the mistrust between the 2 main characters. And what will happen to them after she beat the crap out of the older lady they report to. At some point, I'm guessing the FBI neighbor finds out about them and they start working as double agents.

Or double secret triple agents where the FBI neighbor thinks that they're working for him, but really they're not!

Or one of them is but the other isn't but believes that the other isn't and that one believes that the other is.  My  head hurts.

If we can add a '78 Camaro and an orangutan named Viktor, this would be a ratings winner.

Honestly, this show is proving to be surprisingly boring.

Intrepid Reader: Gil Gunderson: "The Americans" on FX looks interesting.

I've never watched a minute of this show.  I did like the choice of "Eminence Front" for the commercials, however.

Does this involve numbers stations, or am I indifferent?

None so far.

Incorrect opinion. This last episode was a bit slower but overall this has been a really good show. I guess you're just not equipped to enjoy HIGHBROW entertainment, you meatball.

I've watched every episode so far. But the show hasn't really grabbed me to the point where I can't wait to see what happens next week. Which is disappointing for something with such high body and side-boob-and-nude-butt counts.

How long can they really flog the "my marriage started out fake but maybe now it's real" theme?

And how many weird Yetiphile subplots should we expect when all's said and done?

Don't sweat it.   There is no such thing as an "incorrect opinion".  Dumb, maybe, but not incorrect.

IMHO Keri Russell bears a striking resemblance to one of the most beautiful women who ever lived, Lee Remick.

He rents?

Is this show going overboard?   The bad guys feel bad when they accidently kill someone.  But the "good guys" show no remorse over deliberately killing an innocent person in order to send a message?
