The Americans

Not really a suitable icon, I know, but it's the only one I have that has anything to do with spies.

So, did anyone else watch ep 1 of The Americans?

Very slight spoilers behind cut.



I did, and enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting. I like the premise, and find the Cold War setting a lot easier to stomach than the borderline racist (and sometimes not so borderline) shenanigans in Homeland, which in any case was a parody of itself by the end of season 2.

Definitely something I'll be catching up on when I get back from France and the family(ish) thing.

Miffed I'm going to miss Springwatch, though.

I liked it much more than I did Homeland, which I gave up on after a couple of episodes, looking forward to rest of season.

I gritted my teeth through two series of Homeland. No idea why. I must be a masochist.

This is much better. I'll be catching up on ITVplayer when I get home.
