New series on FX premiering tonight. Recording it and going to watch it after hard Hawk hockey. Set in the 80's with two KGB spies living in America and stuff happens. There seems to be a dearth of quality TV on right now so hoping this is at least watchable to get us to Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones.

Pretty solid show. It's interesting seeing the whole thing from the Russian agents point of view. I like how the Russian dad dealt with the pedophile. But the scene with the pedophile at the mall where he's hitting on his 13 year old daughter seemed like a huge stretch. I can't see a guy being that brazen in front of the child's Father as depicted. I'll definitely be watching it again next week though. A lot of good actors involved.

Goof is grilling hot dogs....really? Hot dogs? If you're gonna grill.... put some steaks, Ribs, brats or burgers on the grill. A damn hot dog isn't worth the charcol used to cook it.

I enjoyed this show. I thought it was very well done and an interesting concept. Also,Keri Russel has my "attention".

I thought the show was great.

Although, I must admit I never expected Felicity to ask a guy if he'd ever had a finger stuck up his ass before.

I liked the show, but I'm worried about how quickly everything developed in the pilot. I think having an FBI Counter Intel agent as their neighbor was a bit much. Overall it's got my attention and I'll watch next week.

worth of Sons of Anarchy the last couple of weeks. :oops:

Now ya tell me.... :wink:

I only have about 3 episodes left in season 3 so I might as well finish it now.
It has been a pretty big letdown after really enjoying the first 2. Maybe season 4 will pick back up.

Season 4 might be the best,but it's really starting to stretch the realm of believability with all they get away with.

I know. I laugh now everytime they meet back at the clubhouse to sort out who is missing or killed. reminds me of
playing war or capture the flag as a kid.
