Enjoyed this show right up until the last episode... can't say that for very many TV shows these days. 10/10
I am in the middle of the first season but I gonna say: this show is so good ! Since The Walking Dead is getting more and more boring, Homeland's season is over, and Breaking Bad's final season is starting in July I was looking for a TV Show which is exiting, got a central theme in it. Where you get surprised and the acting is good. A TV show which is realistic and dangerous. I found all of it with this show! Since this TV Show is about the cold war I want to compare it with James Bond, and the second reason is I don't want to put spoilers in it: I am pretty sure you know the older James Bond movies, where Bond is jumping of a cliff with no parachute, into a plane, gets control over the plane, destroying the enemy's base and got no scratches. Superhero Bond. No problems. And then you know the newer Bond movies with Daniel Craig. Where Bond has problems. He's a drinker. Getting hurt, Getting scratches, simply more realistic. If you know what I mean, then you know who the show is like. Two KGB agents who are in the US for some years. Got two children. Have to live their whole life under disguise, which living a FBI Agent next door. They like in some way there life as normal people and they do like in some way the people of America. But in their point of view the US government is evil. They what to build a anti-missile defense system (google Star Wars Bush), which would make the nuclear arsenal of Russia worthless. And they have to do something against that. Lets see how the show develops. 9/10
Keri Russell's emotionally stoic approach to her character contrasted with Matthew Rhy's emotive soul searching was such a refreshing take on the typical male-centric troupe. Plus..."Felicity" kicking ass & taking numbers? Yes, please.
I highly doubt I was ever so captivated by a TV show. This. Is. Gold.
Simply put this is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. Finished almost two years ago now and I can't stop thinking about it. Might be time for a rewatch.
