Which one do you like more. IMDB has these two shows pretty close with an 8.2 (Following) and 8.3 (Americans) rating.

I like The Following, but I think it relies on camera angles and murder too much. Definitely a thriller.

I think The Americans is the best show on TV right now. Hopefully, it doesn't fall off because my expectations are through the roof.

of the two, I would say the Americans is far better.

the Following is entertaining, but nothing special so far in my opinion

The Following is kinda meh...its not bad, but its not good. Everything seems predictable and it is pretty unrealistic in the way that the villains pull certain shite off.

I like them both, but The Americans > The Following.

To the poster above, I saw the pilot for Zero Hour, and it wasn't at all what I was expecting. It had a Revolution-esque quirkiness/awkwardness, and the acting was meh.

To take a few steps back, I will say this:

I've never been so happy with the first two episodes of a TV show.

Close second for me. Why can't I have opinions on a message board? If we all agreed, this would be boring.

Just never heard a show being called the best on tv after 2 episodes, a little surprised is all. Parts of it seem kind of meh, IMHO. But I do like it, and more than the Following. To each his own.

So you can have your opinions but we cant have opposing opinions? What kind of bullshite is that?

You must realize that calling something the best show on TV after two episodes is ridiculous.
