What Shows Are You Watching?

I have to re-recommend The Americans. It has been really good in my opinion, especially the most recent episode.

I concur. Even though I'm pro-American and we already know the outcome, I actually got nervous for the two main characters in the most recent episode. The show's writers do a really good job of making you empathize with the Russians, at least from my experience.

Agreed, but they also have me rooting for Agent Beeman, so it's a really interesting viewing experience. It almost reminds me of The Wire in that respect, where I'm pulling for the cops to catch the "bad guys" but I'd also like to see them get away.

Good call. The Wire is a great comparison. The only difference for me is that in The Wire I felt like I was witnessing a great battle between cops/criminals, but no winner would ever be determined, whereas I feel when I'm watching The Americans that whenever the series does end it will end in American victory. Either way it's an excellent show and I'm looking forward to watching more of it. Idk how FX manages to pull off these great dramatic series, in between The Americans, SOA, and Justified.
