Then I got to Season 1 Episode 5 and went totally off the rails with nonsense.


No way a Soviet operative makes it as high as the head of the Russian Rezidentura being that completely fricking stupid. And that did it for me. Anyone who knows the Soviets back during those times knows that to make it far in politics means you know the game like no other.


So it cheapens the show and makes the Russians look so fricking stupid as to defy logic.

Any one with any sense at all that is a man at 60 knows how women work. Show lost me I'm done.

Any suggestions for another? Breaking Bad may be the only show I will finish from beginning to end that doesn't become complete horse shite.

Your loss. And I have no suggestions for you because you sound like a picky little bitch.

Ditto. You don't deserve to watch good shows if something like that is enough to trip you up.

Breaking Bad definitely didn’t have any questionable moments.

Like Walt the chemist setting up that 50 cal to rotate and shoot out of his trunk.

Nah. That made all the sense.

No shite.

every show takes liberties with the truth, or reality, it’s entertainment...And what OP described above sounds like him wanting to find a reason to quit.

I'm not sure of the particular episode you're referring to, but the head of the Rezidentura, overall, was depicted as smart and strategic - even if one character, in particular, wasn't allowed to share information with him.

I suggest you GFY. The Americans is one of the best shows in the last 10 years easily.

Trust me, no loss at all.

In surrounded by fricking idiots.

That group think!!

Don't worry, your anonymous here, so your level of stupidity is safe here.

What Walt did was way more believable than a Soviet and his people not monitoring every god damn person leaving that place Rezidentura after a mole was realized. Especially a pretty thing like her.

It was unrealistic and as stupid as the majority in this thread. Maybe I'm just smarter than you folks?

I suggest 'Star Wars'. Most historically accurate movie I've ever seen.

That’s because he is. He’s probably trolling though.

But are you smart enough to watch Rick and Morty and get the jokes?

What's really ridiculous is 100lbs Keri Russell beating the crap out of FBI field agents.

Stranger Things. Pretty sure it is based off a true story.
