Is anyone else watching it? This is the only show I watched with Byron that I am still actively watching because it's so good I can watch it without missing him too much.

It's season 3 and getting really interesting.

I am wondering if anyone else suspects that the minister is really KGB or something?

Set during the Cold War period in the 1980s, The Americans is the story of two Soviet KGB officers posing as an American married couple living in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. with their unsuspecting children and their neighbor, Stan Beeman , an FBI counterintelligence agent.

I'm watching it. This is one of few shows where I find myself holding my breath because it's so tense.

Which minister do you mean?
 
It's a fantastic, seriously engaging show, for sure. I'm not really into re-watching, but it's one of those rare series that has such an intricate plot and multi-faceted characters; I'm actually excited to watch the previous seasons again. So much of TV is mindless crap that it can feel like magic when a show excels at everything, and The Americans seems magical. :)

It's one of those shows that it's hard to explain to people. Because they come in expecting some spy action thriller (and there is some of that) but it's more a layered family drama and I just love the beauty of the quiet moments.

This show hits you right in the feels!

I'll check it out Noor.
 
We watched a little bit of it, does it get much better?

Unfortunately it seemed kinda formulaic where they are hard core Russians at the beginning of every episode, and by the end have embraced something American like...what...loving your kids or Cheez Whiz.

You should watch Daredevil!

How far did you get into it? Yeah, season 1 there was quite a bit of back and forth regarding how hard-core Russian they are vs how well they fit into American society but season 2 and 3 have been real character studies.

Daredevil is a good show too. Still got halfway to go.

Thanks! I'll need to catch up.

Ever watch Orphan Black?
 
What did she tell Pastor Tim on the phone????? My DVR cut off right as she called!!!!!!
 
Right now, I can tell you...I am under the weather, sick, lungs bad. I doubt that made it into the script.



Well, you said it was called The Americans.
 
What did Paige tell Pastor Tim at the very end of the show?

I hope you feel better, I'm sorry to hear it :(
 
You're bringing this up a little late ar you not? The season's finale was last week. It doesn't resume again in, what, 2 or 3 years?
 
That would be a spoiler. I'm not sure how they will end up with religion. Pastor Tim isn't important except as someone for Paige to talk to. It's odd to remember how the religious issues of the era were so left wing. Peace, anti-racism, anti-nukes, social justice, etc... Vs how it's morphed into right wing craziness. Season 4 will be a LOT of Paige and I hope the actress lives up to it.
 
Just finished streaming S2 and was so disappointed to learn that Amazon Prime doesn't stream S3 for prime members. A few observations:

*Keri Russell is just So. Fucking. Hard. Core. in her role as Elizabeth Jennings. Felicity, who?

* Some of the character disguises are so well conceived, I don't know Elizabeth or Phillip are in the scene until it already unfolds. Jenny Gering needs an Emmy award for costuming. Also, they look so '80s without looking so predictably '80s.

* I want to punch Stan Beeman in the motherfucking face. Please tell me he gets offed in S3. TIA.

Remarkably well-done show. Thinking about watching the first two seasons all over.

I got hooked so hard on it. I blew through two seasons in about a month. In the morning after I got the child off to school, I would watch 20 minutes before heading to work. I miss the series now like I miss a friend I haven't seen in a long time. It becomes part of your mental fabric. Eager to watch S3.
