    Might have to give this show another try. Watched the first few episodes and just couldn't get into it.

    Just finally got around to Season One. I don't have streaming options so I had to wait for DVDs to become available.

    This and Hell on Wheels are two of the very best shows on TV right now.

    Season 3 just started thoughts so far? The Pakistani ISI dude killing that girl was nuts. She screwed the pooch big time I am not sure he would be a good asset for the Russians. Their downfall just might be trying to bring their daughter into the fold.

    *spoilers*
    Saw it coming last season, she wasnt controllable and pretty loose with her morals those types dont make for good assets.

    They threw the handgun revolver scene and the car tailing scene in to give us a taste of whats to come.

    The fbi boss dude got a good look at her, she should have offed him. The fbi neighbor dudeis starting to piece stuff together and the inkling of what happened with his russian girlfriend is starting to show his disdain for how things are done.

    I am interested to see what happens with the daughter thatll be a developing plot point.

    What I enjoy with the show is that they use russia actors and peroid items. I like that.

    The thing that bugs me the most is both parents will be gone late at night and the kids seem completely oblivious to this. The parents seldom go out together to make it seem like they're on date night or whatever and I doubt the daughter is gullible enough to believe there's some urgent travel agent emergency calling one of them out late at night.

    If my parents had left me home alone that much at that age I'd have gone out to find some trouble or would be bringing girls over to create some trouble. I sure wouldn't just do my homework and go to bed though.
    If you can't win a gun fight against a lightly-trained individual during broad daylight with 88 rounds of 30-06, I'm not sure you'd be able to do it with... any other firearm.

    Ok, I've got an El Camino full of rampage here, so what's the plan?

    Me too. I just love how 80's this show is. I have to hand to the prop/set designers on the production crew. I can't imagine how hard it has to be to track down that much 80's junk, lol.

    ***Spoilers***

    Thoughts on if the parents will actually go through with letting their daughter become an agent? My thought is no. Don't forget the end of last season with Phillip gave the head Russian dude state side the ultimatum. I don't think they would turn on Russia but they both want out to varying degrees.

    That may be part of the mind-F the writers are going for. They might want us to think they will be divided in their attempts to bring their daughter over or that they will both be against it completely. Who knows, the fbi dude might catch them or they might catch him and defect to him (like the dude wanted to do in the first season).
