The FX shows are ham handed and this is no exception, but as a Homeland/Breaking Bad/24 rip off it's actually quite good
We warmed up to it, you will need to over look a few sad bits but the acting is great.

Good show & Felicity has matured quite nicely.
Agreed and agreed.
Ep 5 is tomorrow right? I can't figure out what night it is really on....
I used to think only old people watched stupid TV dramas and now I follow two of them. Fuck.

Ep 6 last night (where they were detained without giving anything away) was the best episode yet. This show is onto something. I'm going to start watching this with great anticipation.
(The part with the kids wasn't done very well but they gave it a shot).
Yes! Last two were very good, I love this show.
It's a good one.
Like it. But one questions about episode 9:
Spoiler
Did they were seriously planning to bring the bald guy to the hospital after he's seen them several times disguised only by wigs?
I don't think they ever intended to take him to a hospital, it was more of a 'oh shit what do we do now, we killed another federal agent' panicky type of thinking going on.
Besides, the guy didn't recognize Jennings from the party before being stabbed and hopped up on morphine so why would he do so later. he only recognized Mrs. Jennings because he's a horndog and even then couldn't place her.
He would however eventually have pieced together that Hanson was a KGB asset.
I wonder how many gang leaders/drug kingpins turned traitor on America for the communists in the 80s? Gregory sure took a big chance there....
I knew Nina was going to do that..... just not exactly that way. Not a spoiler.
This show is so well written, between this and the plotting on Orphan Black there are some smart people working in scripted TV again.
!
This show is like a cross between Homeland, Breaking Bad (and Orphan Black with all the disguises).
I'm trying to get into this show but suddenly the first episodes are nowhere to be found dammit.
Martha, fuckable or not?
not.
Season finale on Wednesday - I love this show.
Now go catch up on Orphan Black so I have people to talk to about that show next...
I'm terrible at this. It means I have to do something with regularity besides pooping.
Awesome season finale. Yes!
I wonder if this show makes Breaking Bad and Homeland kick it up a notch when they both return.
Yes! Season two comes back tonight. You can watch Season One on Amazon Prime.
Looking forward to it.
Oh hells yeah that S2E1 was good. This show is not messing around.
Caught 69ing. That was funny.
These first two season Two episodes have been perfect. Great.
Who else thinks that maybe Elizabeth is the love child of Claudia and Zhukov?
I suppose - that new guy with the family connection back in the USSR is going to mess everything up for our anti-heroes.
S2 Ep 4 was one I needed to watch twice to figure out what they were up to exactly.
Tonight is the season finale - this show was really great this round.
Season Three booting up tonight. Oh yeah.
This show rules
Oh yeah, sweet. I'll prolly fall asleep and have to watch it tomorrow though.
Rad season opener.
I didn't realize that was Gaad (John Boy) she beat up 'they make em tough over there'.
I'm not sure I buy that Elizabeth can beat the shit out of two FBI men twice her weight but whatever. I like the direction they are going with the daughter and Afghanistan.
The Martha Stan Phillip combo will be their undoing.
The two Russian dudes - this show has some serious acting.
Yeah but Gaad isn't really a field agent and he ain't CIA.
I had no idea where the fbi was in portland until Sunday. Drove right by it and was like "huh".
okay season three episode two was totally badass this show is awesome
Fucking brutal. Large suitcase please.
Think the Belgian girl is a plant?
Yeah, something weird going on there with her.
Really getting good. Something pivotal is about to happen.
Why are they so weirded out about the baptism? I'd be more worried about her wanting just the pastor and his wife over for her 15th birthday.

Marxists are Atheists. All of it kinda goes against the whole grooming her for the KGB thing.
Paige knows it's ticking off her parents.
That defector Zazimmia is up to no good. Stan is suspicious.
I thought he found something in the ceiling. And what was up with the candy bar?
This season is so great. I even like the family stuff. They have to get back to killing soon.
one of the best shows nowadys for sure
i liked the 2nd season even better than the 1st one
what strikes me is the fact that i was already out of highschool when this show is set
but it seems like even more far away timewise due to all that cold war and agent gadget stuff
which seems soooo out of time nowadays
it actually seems like being from the sixties
Pre-cell phone days allows for some plotting you can't do now.
OMG!!
season 3 was even better than 2
unbeleivable
one of the best shows ever
it´s in the same league as the sopranos or boardwalk empire or SOA or whatever you rate major league
I'm binge watching S# on Amazon Prime. Season Four starts tomorrow.
You're exhausting. Keep up.

i understand it statrts march 16th
this show slays
first episode of season 4 was more than promising
so many bombs in the script that will probably all go off this season
most exciting series there is
I really like the show as a whole as the first three seasons were great. I was very excited for the new season to begin, but with left a little nonplussed with this first episode.
For some reason, the bad disguises stuck out more, there seemed to be a forced conflict between Beeman and Philip and the dialogue between Elizabeth and Philip bothered me in places. There's a lot of way to go, but a little disappointed.
yeah right
in season 1 i sometimes didn´t even notice at first they were disguised
last episode the disguises were real bad
maybe kgb shortened the budget
this show keeps getting better and better
last episode was insane
Noooooooo.....
That was tough wash"t it?
First that nice dream sequemce and then .... Bang!
Awesone show!
Shortly.........damn!
