Something seems wrong here, no?

ION, because all the people listing it in their "what I'm watching on TV posts" lately, I caught up with The Americans, and while I don't quite feel fannish about it (it's one of those shows where I get the feeling that I'm watching a different show than everyone else even though it's the same time slot and channel - different experiences and upbringing = different set of viewing glasses), I do find it very intriguing and actually one of the few shows that manages to keep my undivided attention for the full hour as it subtly contrasts things like cold-war era American vs Russian upbringings and culture and women's roles and expectations in that era. I might have more to say on it some other time, but for now, it's hitting a lot of my character-focused storytelling buttons. Also, I can't help wondering where the heck they found so many early-80s cars in such mint condition...

Also tried Lost Girl, but it didn't stick. Sad for me. I never can get hooked on shows that are drive by supernatural/mythology/fantasy-type plotlines. I missed out on the whole Buffy experience too. Just not my wiring.

I'd say that the shades of grey that have intruded onto her black-and-white life of late (like the way their bosses are showing themselves to have a very apparent sinister side) only make that harder.

Definitely. It's interesting to watch them go through their separation too because on the one hand, it's all business and they continue to work together, but in the other, they wouldn't have even considered it if there weren't feelings there that make their marriage more than a charade, and with the actions of their handlers coming into question, it really drives home the question of who to trust.

I'm going to have to wait a day or two until tonight's episode is online before commenting (I don't have FX), but I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it. :)

I don't have a television at the moment at all (don't ask), so I won't be watching it tonight (riiiiight now! *whimper*), but I'll be downloading it as soon as it appears on my favourite site for such things and watching it first thing in the morning (during my morning workout--I'm always afraid I will fall off the crosstrainer from the adrenaline on Thursday mornings *g*). I should be able to make my post about tonight's episode tomorrow afternoon if all goes well.

Where do you live? I'm in Canada, but I travel a lot so sometimes I'm elsewhere. :)

Canadian prairies here. :)
This is one of the few shows that gets undivided attention. I'd definitely fall off if I attempted to work out at the same time!

Fellow prairie girl! How fun. :)
