A new TV series on FX about deep cover KGB agents living in America, anyone plan on watching?

It's too late for me, but I plan on watching when it hits Netflix. Looks very good!

Yes. It is on my list.

It hasn't started yet.


Netflix has TV Shows?

Yes, they have series from the past, new and much older, available for streaming. I have Upstairs, Downstairs and the 1980's show Miami Vice in there, among others. Eventually the whole thing will come to Netflix and my wife and I can watch it without commercials. I may have to wait a bit, though.

I didn't know that. I just usually record everything and then fast forward thru the commercials. Maybe I'll check that out some of the older TV shows that were popular when I was stationed overseas, if I catch it on a re-run it's new to me.

As with movies, not everything is available for streaming (we no longer rent the actual disks). But when you have time go in and perform some searches on some of the older shows you like. Some of them are bound to be in there.

I just finished watching the Pilot episode. Interesting and with possibilities, I think it will be of particular interest to those who grew up in the Cold War days.

The show did have considerable violence, a bit of implied sex, and some language so viewers beware.

I saw it and I like it -yes, the cold war days. I did feel the sexual content may have been a bit gratuitous; however, it may well have been necessary to develop the back story of the female lead.

I will continue to check it out.

The show seems pretty good thus far. One question the show brings up that I have not ever if rarely seen dispensed with regards the US citizens and organizations that assisted the communists. Where did they go? How many still anti American communist sympathizers remain in society -how many promoting communism under the new 'progressive' banner have direct ties to cold war enemies?

In my opinion, many enemies remain and are now in power.

I was thinking that as I read your question
