The Americans on FX

So the blonde DoD assistant is still alive yes? And forgive me, I figured Jared was hooking up with the handler and that was what caused him to kill his parents.

 

...

 

Just started watching this on Netflix, so I won't read this thread and thus spoil the adventure. But the wife and I were hooked after watching the first three episodes.

It has gone to the top of our Netflix queue.

Orange Is The New Black isn't nearly as good.

 

Wife and I burned through the second Season 1 disc (disk?) last night. We're hooked.

 

If you were looking forward to seeing this show's amazing second season compete at the Emmys, you are out of luck, as Matthew Rhys, Kerri Russell and the show as a whole failed to garner nominations.

 

Emmy voters are bad

 

Noah Emmerich as well. I thought that for Season 1, Derek Luke was a lock for a best guest actor award and he didn't even get nominated. They need to up their PR game.

 

Emmy voters are sheep.

I'm a huge fan of Mad Men, but the show has lost so much of its fastball. And it still gets its usual haul of nominations.

Emmys are Hollywood's version of the Gold Glove Award.

 

I can't imagine that Jeff Daniels is better on "The Newsroom" than Matthew Rhys is on "The Americans."

 

Maybe Daniels got extra credit for having to memorize large globs of dialogue. Sorry, but I gave that show a season and grew to hate it.

 

It's a fun show to hate watch! Maybe not Grey's Anatomy/Scandal-level hate watching, but close.

 

My hatred of those three lapped my delight at hating them.
