The Americans

[95 Vol Alum]

Anyone checking this out? Starts Jan 30 on FX. I like Graham Yost's work (Justified, The Pacific, Band of Brothers) so will give it a shot.

The Americans | Series Debuts January 30 | Wednesdays 10

Looks interesting. I will give it a shot. Do you know if it is set in present day? The reason I wonder is they are using the old Soviet hammer and sickle in the logo.

I will give it a look as well. Yeah I believe it is set in the past.

Set in the 80's. Based on what I've seen, they do a decent job of capturing the period.

I'm definetly going to give it a shot. FX is usually pretty solid when coming out with original programming.

Big hair, neon clothes, chicks named Roxanne?

FX does a good job. The Shield is one of my all time favorite shows.

Michael Jackson jackets and parachute pants.

I noticed the spy equipment was vintage 80's computer stuff. Cars looked like 80's models.

I'll be checking this out.

I might watch but it looks kinda cheesy.

So nobody else can't get passed that fact that Felicity is a spy?

Interesting to note that the creator of the show, Joe Weisberg, is a former CIA agent.

He's probably using the show to spy on America. I'm not watching now.

Is it pro Russian or pro American?......with all the liberals in Hollywood....kinda hard to tell

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I cannot wait for this show. It should be excellent. I love Cold War era stories.

Gonna guess from reading only little that it is Pro-American.

First episode is tonight for those wanting a reminder.

 

[utkCREW]

I'm excited. FX has some good series, I've always liked Cold War Era history, and it just looks interesting.

 

[PKT_VOL]

I'm interested in this series. I'll be tuning in here in 15 minutes.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Nothing like starting a show with a good BJ.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Interesting. Hope it gets better.

 

[rkw38]

I just watched the first episode. I think it has a lot of potential.

FX did the Shield which is one of my all time favorites along with 24.

 

[utkCREW]

Absolutely awesome premiere. Super excited about this TV series.

 

[SpecialKVolfan20]

I liked it! I'll be watching.
