Anyone else catch this? I actually liked it

It was nice that they didn't shy away from adult themes or violence

Horrible and absolutely forgettable show. Thought this might be different, but turned out to be one of those clone shows in different packaging. Stupid coincidences, terrible music, boring characters etc etc. After he went back to the guy who hit on his daughter i just turned it off as i won't bother following this any further.

Strong 2nd ep. Really like the music in this series, and Phil and Elizabeth are awesome. Will be sticking with this for sure.

The show is promising indeed, the script seems solid and the actors are pretty great too (especially Rhys), making it even more believable.

yeah i also like it. And they seem to follow a realistic way and not a over the top james bond style.

Haha yeah it was so random.. the lyrics were appropriate for the intimate moment, though.

started watching it, i really love the setting as cold war is my favorite history topic and i read countless books about sleeper cells and spying.
And thats why i have to disagree with the show how it portrays these cells, i understand they cant make the show like neighbours or bold and the beautiful meaning there has to be a story to be told so they compress alot of things into one episode. In real life sleeper cells were just that , sleeper cells , they had families and did nothing illegal for years. But this is about KGB officers working in the usa undercover and their adventures so i understand something has to happen and things that would happen over years are compressed to days .
Though the show makes it seem the KGB just killed randomly and without any scruples, killed were usually only the KGB officers who spied for the enemy, and they werent killed in the usa but brought back to moscow where they got a trial ( predermined fate of course ) and a bullet to the head in the basement.

nice, I'm kind of 50/50 on the show right now, there are some good parts and some really lame scenes.
Spoiler:
I don't appreciate the love/romance drama crap between the both of the main actors, thankfully it's very minimal right now

IT's been pretty good so far; both the spies side and the FBI investigators stories mesh in a good way. Really liked the scene where the FBI team was tailing the woman, and how they were outwitted in a few secs.

(the scene where girl-agent was supposed to seduce Polish priest - I had no clue what she was saying in what was supposed to be my language).
She said something other than kurwa kurwa siema noob?

I think the second season is kinda mediocre compared to the first one and it did seem boring. Maybe the third one will be better, who knows. 1) Lenovo Legion 7 (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3080 16Gb, 32Gb DDR4, SSD 1TB +2TB
2) SFFPC (streaming via Moonlight+ Sunshine)

Yeah, I stopped in the second too. After the excellent first season, the second was very lackluster.
