The Americans

[hokiehi21]

Starts tonight!!

Been waitin for this for like a month. Anyone else watch this show? It's fantastic.

It is good, but not must-see yet. Certainly has the potential to become must-see, though. Tonight will be a big test to see if it is going in that direction.

I expect Granny gets killed tonight. She is busy with The Millers anyway.

I cant wait... and i do think it is a must see show... It is one of the most unique and original show out there...

I think its already hit must see status. It was easily the best new series to debut last year and likely in the last couple of years. The question is if it will keep up its momentum going into the 2nd season. Andy Greenwald on Grantland has seen a few eps of Season 2 as screeners and he says its great. I tend to have similar tastes with him so now I'm even more pumped for Season 2

Speaking of which...

Probably needs its own thread, but why the fuck are they bringing that piece of garbage back

I agree that it was amazing for much of the first season. I am only commenting on how it went down hill. Quickly.

love watching felicity being a bad ass and screwing.

i wonder if their kids will ever find out who they are.

At this point, if they do not, it will be weak writing. The daughter already has strong suspicions.

Maybe.

First ep was definitely solid although a bit gut-wrenching at times. Not that its a bad thing, its just really tough to watch a couple of those scenes.

you mean the daughter walking in on the side by side 69?

 

[MilkSpiller22]

season 2 episode one was good enough to call this the best show out there right now...

I saw that one coming. Well, not the position but the general act. The breakfast scene the following morning was funny.

 

[hokiehi21]

nudity

nudity

was waiting for that last night, they warned it was coming, was it that few second when she was typing that said she pleasured him orally?

 

[wildturkey]

I think the "nudity" may have been for the Playboy mags that were flipped through. No idea really. I was hoping for another Keri Russell threesome.

Interesting ep overall though. They're setting a lot up. Not sure I trust the bald guy Phil played a visit to.

And I noticed a neat little tidbit last night that I've overlooked since the show started. During the intro to the show, the names of the actors who play Russian characters appear in Russian and then English while the names of actors who play American characters (including the kids) only appear in English.

 

[hokiehi21]

Whoa that ending. Shit's about to get real

 

[wildturkey]

I couldn't figure out what was happening. Did two other people show up and attack them? I lost track of how many people were in the fight
