Is anyone else looking forward to this show? I think it's such an interesting idea to make KGB spies on US soil during the cold war the protagonists. Glad to see Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell back on television...and then there is the bonus of Margo Martindale.

Did anyone watch? I was prepared to not like it, but I was surprised at how it kept my attention. I'll watch again.

The beginning was a little confusing but after awhile it picked up steam. Looks like this will be a weekly must see.

Felicity is a spy. JJ Abrams inter-show cross-over!!! Except this is not connected to JJ Abrams at all.

I am just happy that Noah Emmerich has some meaty role on a TV series. His CDC employee in The Walking Dead was interesting but he was offed.

I watched the first half hour this morning and will finish it tonight when I get home. It's starting off reeeeally slow for me, though.

It picks up.

(joe?)STRUMMERGIRL. JJ Abrams said that sometimes Felicity was so out of her element and clueless they would often joke behind the scenes that FELICITY was really a SPY! Thats how ALIAS was born, Jenn Garner had a recurring role on F.

suestorm (why are you calling me Joe?), I actually did read that in the write-ups related to Russell in a spy role. I always thought Russell was a stronger actress than Garner so I have been waiting for her to get an interesting TV role again in general.

Very good use of Fleetwood Mac in the pilot.

STRUMMER, sorry! i thought your name mightve been a CLASH reference, JOESTRUMMER was the Lead :)

I agree about Russell over Garner

Oh, I got you suestorm. That is indeed the reference. Excuse the brain fart.

I just finished the pilot. It did pick up and was really fantastic. I think I'm really going to love this show.

I just finished watching it as well. I think it has a lot of potential and think FX will give it time to develop more than one of the Big 4 networks. Look forward to next week.

it is really nice to see a Russian women portrayed as something other than a stripper a whore or a golddigger.

FX Orders Second Season of The Americans

Really enjoying the show. Derek Luke (as a radical civil rights activist who is also Elizabeth's former lover) and Margo Martindale as additions only improved things.

I SWOON over Derek Luke!

Just reminding people that this show is AMAZING.

That episode was crazy and crazy good. And yet, even as Phillip and Elizabeth were being 'tested', my heart raced most with the children.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Last night's episode was great. And Derek Luke was back!

Kerri Russell kind of turns me on when she's kicking ass like that.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 3/8/13 at 12:40am

Yeah, plus she's got a deep voice.
