    The americans
    Have you been watching this show on FX? Wow, really interesting show about how the Soviet Union planted highly trained agents in America to live as cells and carry on covert actions. I am sure much of it is fiction but it also plays off actual events. For example when the soviets lost their sub during the cold war that was explained that they received planted bad info from the US on critical sub parts. Not sure if that is true, it probably isn't but if it is true it is staggering to believe that actually happened.

    I believe the last episode of year two just ended. You should give this show a shot. Not sure if it is on demand.

    I find it interesting how the relatively new networks are producing better shows than the old standards. AMC and others and now FX. I find period shows based on true events particularly interesting. If you lived through any of the cold war with this show you can easily see the parallels they make connect. Very interesting for me.

        Agree... solid show w/very good acting.

        It is ON DEMAND on Time Warner anyway...

        Have you checked out TURN on AMC? Another well done period-piece show.

            It's good. I've seen the first 4 episodes. I can't really pinpoint what I like best about it yet, but if you're looking for a show - I definitely recommend.

            (And if anyone's ever wondered about Russian Rocket's parents ... wonder no more.)

                I saw the first season and liked it. Need to catch up though and do a little Americans binging.
