I also think some of it is a little lame. I mean, their disguises aren't very good, at all.

Totally agree. The "Clark" disguise is so silly, I really can't believe Martha hasn't pulled off the wig yet. I think there was an article in the WaPo about that. Love Keri Russell.

Never mind - it does look like she split with her husband late last year and is seeing her co-star. Hmm, that's a bit upsetting.

I can't remember where but I read something about how they do the disguises like that on purpose. They want them to have that look for some reason, Idk why.

I love The Americans. I also love True Detective. I am thankful there are a handful of great shows on. Take note broadcast TV! Spend some money on decent writers!

Nope. Hannibal and True Detective are much better shows.

The last episode left me confused. Who killed the other set of spies?

+1 -- love the show ! Best on TV right now. Better than Homeland was last season.

And I like the disguises, -- cheesy 80-s look.

While I do enjoy The Americans (and their stellar wig collection), I think True Detective and the very underappreciated Hannibal are better.

can't get it on demand with FIOS even though we have FX. God, they suck.

I like Hannibal, too. But I canNOT watch it if I'm alone at night. Soooo creepy. The actor who plays Hannibal is amazing.

I agree with you OP. My favorite show by far.

I agree. With all the vigorous humping they do, she would be bound to grab his hair at some point.
