The Americans - ITV Saturdays

#1

Post by The Monocled Mutineer »

Just watched the final episode ('taped' from last night's broadcast)

Enjoyable and a strong narrative drive all through the series.

I see that there is to be a second season which will be picked up by ITV later next year.

Just watching the last episode now, BT on demand :)

Not really sure about it, some is good, but some is farcical such as the disguises that they use
and the odds against an FBI agent moving in next door to them.

Still ive stuck with it to the end so it cant be too bad

I've enjoyed, still got the last episode to watch though. Saturday nights actually got interesting for a while with The Americans and Top of the Lake both worth watching.
Oh well, back to normal next week with the return of X Factor - yuk!!!

Brilliant series. At that time of the night I usually watch tv in bed and fall asleep but this one made me sit up and watch it right through. Maybe it was far fetched but its supposed to be entertainment. Not usually a fan of American TV series though but when they do them right they are brilliant. Thought "John Boy" (The Waltons if you remember which is back on TV) was excellent.

Cant wait for the next series.

Great series but a bit unsettling when the Russians are portrayed as the goodies.

Our Sky+ box is all set to record the new series, but have had to use ITV+1 to avoid clashing with other recordings at the normal time.
