The Americans on FX

The FBI agent living across the street was the doctor at the Atlanta CDC in Season 1 of Walking Dead.

 

If you live in and around DC in a nice neighborhood, having an FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, Armed Forces, etc... higher up down the street from you is not a stretch at all. They are everywhere.

I liked the second episode a lot more than the third, especially the way the maid reacted.. It's the natural way many people would react. I also wonder about the reaction of the husband when he finds out about the person that died at the end of the third episode.

 

Guess that depends on your definition of hooked, Mr. Semantics. I mean...I'm hooked in that I really like it and still want to keep watching future episodes. But I'm not so hooked that I watch it live every week.

 

I like it so far. Always had a thing for Keri Russell, so that helps.

 

Noah Emmerich. Character actor who has been in a ton of good films (Beautiful Girls, Cop Land, Little Children, Miracle).

You're right there. He's clearly more in love with his "wife" than he is with the "cause."

I'm really digging this show so far as well. I just hope it doesn't do like Homeland and go totally off the rails once it gets renewed.

 

Don't f with the women in Phillip's life. That's the line he has drawn.

 

Pass you DVD to me... I wanted to DVD it but my family dominates tv that night.

 

You might want to check the "r" key as well.

 

Damn spell predicting son of a bitch iPad. When I look at the keys as I touching them I see little reason to spell check.

 

And Craig Patrick in Miracle.

 

I dig the spy genre, but I'm having a really hard time getting into this show. Even with Keri Russell. For whatever reason, I'm not all that fired up about rehashing the old enemy story lines any more. Watched the pilot of Zero Hour last night and thought it was complete dreck, pretty much for the same reason. We've been oversaturated with battles against the Nazis.

 

Really like this show (growing up in the '80s perhaps helps, I don't know), although Phillip's fro is a bit disconcerting.

Having a kid like to play hockey could be a direct result off the Miracle on Ice. I have to imagine the sport got a bit of a lift after the 1980 games.

Also like the fact that it was created by an ex-CIA guy. Gives it some credence, IMO.
