Haven't seen Fargo yet either though

I love the Americans, been hooked since the first episode.
Make sure you watch the first two seasons before watching season 3. You'll be confused if you don't.

I just finished marathoning the first two seasons of the americans. Its a badass show. Watch it. Do it.

Americans was one of my favorite shows, but I got super busy and fell behind, and now there is no real way to watch it. It's not on Netflix. So I'm pretty much out of luck, unless I won't to watch it illegally (which I try to avoid).

Its on amazon prime

I like it, I'm currently binging the Americans.
I may do Fargo as well.

Is Fargo on Prime?

probably not, FX stalls like a mother fricker before letting their stuff hit streaming

Good to know... Don't know why I hadn't considered this.

I watched 6 or 7 episodes, and it's fricking fantastic. I think it is underrated because it's on FX, which isn't known for releasing great series. HBO, AMC, and Showtime are all more highly regarded for better or worse.

According to who? Ask your average Joe, and they will say HBO first. I personally think AMC is king because of Breaking Bad and Mad Men, and the fact that they don't need nudity for ratings, but that's a whole other thread.

Netflix is killing it right now. When Narcos hits I think it's going to be even more solid.
With better call Saul AMC may knock another home run. Hope so, I welcome quality tv.

Total incorrect statement. FX is second only to HBO for awards nominations. They are way ahead of shotime amc and the other networks
Posted on 1/22/15 at 10:55 pm to SwaggerCopter
Many in Hollywood think that.

FX is on fire and the amount of material they are pumping out is incredible. AMC is pretty much a joke in the industry now. They just got very very lucky when they started.

the famously erudite network chief showcased a pair of PowerPoint slides that broke down the networks by the number of critics’ top 10 lists their programming appeared on in 2014. HBO topped that list at 250 mentions, with FX ranking second with a similarly impressive 213, thanks to a growing cadre of shows that include The Americans, Fargo, Louie and Justified. The point he was looking to make not with superlatives but with data: The rest, including AMC, Netflix and Showtime, ranked well behind with 74, 67 and 62 mentions, respectively.
“HBO and FX absolutely dominated the race for quality in television, and this shows at the moment that the race for the best in TV is really only a competition between two channels, with all the others way, way behind the two leaders,” he said as a roomful of reporters took in the slides.
