re: The Americans 2/6 Episode 2 "The Clock"

Man this show already has me. I loved the first 2 episodes so much they may be able to just entirely frick up the last 10 or whatever and I'll still love it.

This was the best era for these spy-games IMO. It's when I was growing up and taught to hate everything Russia, and I just knew as a 6 year old they were gonna bomb the frick out of us and I was gonna end up like the kids in Red Dawn except younger and deader.

I love seeing Keri Russel playing this bad arse. And I found myself at times kind of cheering for them to succeed in their mission. That's how I know this series is good. They have me cheering for the "bad guys" that I was taught to hate growing up.

It really looks like the sky is the limit. A lot of shows would have peaked with just these first 2 episodes, but this one has a way higher ceiling.
