BeachSkin Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 It debuts tonight at 10 PM EST on FX. It's a new show about USSR spies living in the DC area in the 1980s as sleeper agents. I hear it's actually shot in the DC area as well. It certainly looks interesting. http://tv.nytimes.com/2013/01/30/arts/television/the-americans-fx-series-about-russian-spies.html?_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I've been looking forward to this since I starting seeing previews during AHS. If this and The Following pan out, I dare say that I'll have a couple cool dramas to watch for a couple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins4Life6388 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I havent seen a drama or comedy on FX that has been a let down (SOA, Justified, The League, and Always Sunny) All of them are among my favorite shows. Hopefully this one will be along the same lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OU_skins Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah...that was pretty good. Should be a good way to bridge the gap before Breaking Bad starts up again. But what does Phillip pretend to do for a living? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 DVR set...I love these types of storylines. Better not disappoint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Really enjoyed the pilot. Hope this one is able to have staying power without getting too ridiculous. *cough* Homeland *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostyj Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 It was pretty good. Will be good how to see it comes along with Phillip as he seems to be torn abit. It had to be hard for the real spies to have a family here and watch thier kids grow up as full blooded American's and to see the huge difference of living between the USA and the USSR. The last sceen was pretty great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 It was good enough for me to come back and watch a couple more episodes but not good enough for for me to say that it will remain in my DVR queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I liked it overall. I'll need to see how things progress and if I can get engaged with the characters. So far, the husband is much more likable so I'll be curious to see how they develop over the next few episodes. It's definitely interesting and has a lot of potential.

StillUnknown Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'll give it a couple of more weeks to draw me in. The premiere didn't catch me like I hoped it would, but the main crux of the storyline seems like it will take a couple of episodes to be fully engaged.

Jumbo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I liked most of it---I like the era chosen, the basic premise, and the myriad plot opportunities (Cold War, spying, time/era culture in USA, family, political, personal). Though having the FBI guy (and a counter-intelligence specialist no less) move in next door was INSANELY lame and almost a total deal killer (unless they tell us later that the couple was already under suspicion).

I think it goes with the premise. It's called Americans, it's about Russian spies blending into American society and communities. It'll also create additional tension and drama. The fact that the FBI Agent responsible for finding these spies has some living right under his nose should make for some interesting storylines...

I thought it was cheesy at first for the FBI guy to move in across the street until the last scene lol. I personally think people were already on to them and the FBI move there isnt a coincidence.

I thought that too, but then I realized on our street of 20 homes Neighbor on left is with NSA NeIghbor on right has son in FBI Neighbor down the street is a Federal prosecutor Another neighbor down the street does something that he's not willing to talk about at block parties. Another neighbor works for CIA (husband and wife) Another neighbor works at Pentagon (husband and wife) And I have a good friend who is an FBI investigator . I'm clearly a major threat to national security. And I don't know what the other half of my neighbors do. The DC suburbs are a special place.
