The Americans (FX)

[ardamus]

Good pilot. Those fight scenes were ill.

[christian from austin]

Looks good I remember reading about a KGB agent that came to the US, found a wife/job, had kids then 7 years later got called back to the homeland and took out his whole family as if it was nothing. Hopefully this show is good.

find this article plz

second ep was fine and of similar quality to the pilot but thinking about shelving this for a while, either til the seasons done or at least letting more than a few build up prior to watching

[LilLeftBrain]

yo tweak that aruticle out there?

[Tweak Da Leak]

It was in a financial times article, I couldn't find it online but I'll look through my hardcopies

2dn episode was pretty good, still doesn't feel 80's enough.

Another good episode, I'm liking it. It does seem that the KGB couple have jumped around emotionally a lot in the last two episodes. Last week, Felicity couldn't even think of defecting now she's all about the kids. Still, this seems to be a pretty entertaining and solid show. I love that we follow the FBI guy and the KGB almost equally, and I'm looking forward to the eventual head on collision of both worlds.

The ratings took a hit this week, but it still seems to be doing alright.

I liked the second episode quite a bit, I'll stick with this one.

Damn this Matthew Rhys guy is creeping his way into the Jon Hamm, Bryan Cranston level of leading men in a drama

This is a really good show. I'm not ready to say it'll surpass Breaking Bad as my favorite, but once Breaking Bad concludes this summer, I won't hesitate to say that The Americans will be my favorite current running show. Assuming it's picked up for a second season. I haven't followed the ratings since the pilot aired, but I hope they've remained strong.

[LilLeftBrain]

ahh yeah, mags is a very welcome addition. probably the best ep yet

Yeah he's been excellent.

Caught up on this over the weekend. Shit is pretty damn good.

great premise that the writers will turn to shit within 2 seasons (ie not worth watching)

[ALASKA]

im fully in.

Even so worth watching for Rhys alone, plus Felicity and both kids are good too

[ardamus]

Liked the point they made about the KGB recruiting black people into the espionage. Really looking forward to what else they do with this show.

maybe there will be a big reveal or twist after season 2, like...well i dont know, something...

That '80s Show

useless trivia: starred a young Glenn Howerton of The D.E.N.N.I.S. System fame





good god. remember Titus.

[Tweak Da Leak]

Good working in of Reagan assasination attempt and Haig's loony statements. IF they had only went hte route of mad men in terms of set/costume design for a period piece i think the ratings would be a lot better, I think a lot tuned in for the premeire then fell off when they weren't fully immersed inthe 80's.

[Dan]

Even though ratings seemed to have declined, today it was announced that it has been renewed for a second season.

[ardamus]

Nice. Can't imagine where else they could take this show but I'm definitely interested to see what they do.

[alpha]

Last nights episode was probably the best one yet. The previews for the next episodes were "I'm only sorry I didn't kill you."

[Tweak Da Leak]

The kids had an interesting subplot the fact that they seem like real kids is impressive for this type of show.

[ardamus]

Crazy ass twist in last night's episode. Only a matter of time before that mole gets popped now.

[still illiterate]

Show is rock solid so far

[Dat_Triflin_Ass_Dude]

Crazy ass twist in last night's episode. Only a matter of time before that mole gets popped now.

good ep, but which twist u referring to? That the kidnappers were Russians, or that the Russian embassy resident was framed? Either way, u tellin me u didn't see both of that shit comin? First thing that popped in my head when he got taken from the phone booth was that they have to be Russians. Same thing with the Russian embassy resident. Saw that shit comin from afar. Great ep. though irregardless.

[alpha]

/\agreed

those last two lines of dialouge to end the ep were amazing.

This show is dope as fuck. I recorded the recent marathon, and I watched all 6 episodes this weekend. I'm happy to hear that they're beginning production on a second season.
