Title: The Americans
Post by: Feathers on April 11, 2014, 01:18:01 AM
OK, I admit that it's not Sci-Fi in any way, shape or form but my wife and I are both pretty into The Americans - a cold war, Soviet sleeper-agents in America show.

I don't know why it's so interesting, maybe because we're not Americans? I've no idea how close to reality it is, those who lived in the US in the 80s would know more than I do, but it's interesting to watch. (Doubly so, once I realised that the male lead is actually from Wales!)

I'll have to check it out.  We have been told be a few others that it is a good show.

I like it and have watched it from the start. I like the lead actors and the show is very intense at times. Season two airing now has been a wild ride so far.

We're only 2 or 3 episodes into season 2 but it seems to be hitting up so far. Next episode recording as I type :)

As soon as a polish off Orphan Black, I'll check this out.
