Really? I thought Keri was married with two kiddos.

Another good FX show. I can't remember the last time I saw a network show that I could watch for more than 2 minutes. The stuff is beyond awful.

I love it! And the co-stars say they're not dating but my friend saw the two of them at Brooklyn Bridge Park this morning. Ooooooooooooh!

While I love the show, especially Matthew Rhys, I thought the first episode of the second season (this week) was very salacious, for no good reason. Not to give any spoilers but that scene with Paige upstairs and then the breakfast table scene (close up of Keri Russell eating bacon?) were completely unnecessary.

I do like the intrigue and other parts of the show, but skip adding in a scene like that next time.

You can buy the episodes on Amazon for pretty cheap. For another PP, it's on FX.

I like it because I generally like Cold War themed shows, it's a good thriller-maybe not the best every but good, the 80s styling is fun and realistic-not just a bit about giant portable phones, cocaine, and headbands, and I like the fact that it combines the thriller with a pretty fully realized plot about domestic life.

Maybe I needed to give it more time? I was really excited about it initially.


It grows on your (if you are talking about the first episode of the first season). But it's not necessarily something that makes me feel like "I CAN'T wait until next week to see what happens." I never really get that feeling.

It does bring back some '80s childhood memories.

I like it, but it's not better than True Detective. It is kind of kitschy. I mean, part of what makes people like it is that there aren't many shows on that are based in the '80s. So it kind of plays on nostalgia.

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

Better than house of cards, true detectives, scandal; all of them. It's so well done.
