I had no idea!

Absolutely! I binged it over the weekend — it was great!
That said, it felt like “political fantasy porn”: my friends who work in intelligence/State/politics lead far more mundane and uneventful lives. I noticed the series was created by a woman, which tracks with the ‘fantasy’ aspect.

Well yeah - the reason why I love it is it's got a touch of this is not a documentary in it - hahahahaha. Who wants to watch political mundane and unevertful realism?

Years ago, I watched Man in the High Castle on Amazon where he starred as the chief American Nazi. He had a pretty convincing American accent there as well, and then there was a scene at the dinner table, and he didn’t switch his fork! Illusion shattered.

Is it really good? Huh? I watched S1 and S2 and it was just ok. The set up was so fantastical and unrealistic. And Keri Russell character’s whole ‘messy hair and binder clip on her pants but I’m oh so brilliant’ shtick is corny.

Hey don’t watch it if you don’t want to.
We are not trying to convince you.

To those who share our taste though, the plot twists just keep coming!!

My friends the Foreign Service say it's so unrealistic as to be unwatchable.

I loved him in Zen and was so disappointed that there were only three episodes.

We’ve watched the 4 episodes. Really good. I wish they released an episode a week. We will be done with it by the end of the week.

Can you name a show like it that is realistic? West Wing? Nope. Any cop show? Nope. Any lawyer show? Nope. All the Grey's Anatomy medical drama crap? Nope.

It is TV. Fiction. It is confined to a limited number of episodes and isn't intended to be realistic.

Agreed... as if anyone would want to watch their real lives.
