Am I the only one watching The Americans? Because I'm really digging it.

I'm still watching, but mostly because I still hope it will get better. The writers really need to pick a backstory for the main characters and stick with it, because I feel like every episode is about a completely different couple.

All of the episodes are on my DVR, but I haven't watched any of them yet. There has just been too much TV lately.

Well, it looks like there is none in March, so.

I'm with erika. I keep waiting to hear from Jessica that she loves the show because I am fearful of watching the show again and its inappropriate musical interludes.

Maybe I will watch one more recent one. It's a really rare pilot that really makes me love things right away. I just thought I had enough shows...what kind of craziness is that? But they only get one more hour. I used to watch all kinds of things because I liked the actors but not really the show, hoping for the show I imagined to show up.(Spoiler alert: That only happens to Abed.)

I always give a show three episodes - the pilot, because you need to get to know the characters; episode 2 where they're figuring stuff out and fixing issues in the pilot; and episode 3 where they've figured out where they're going. If they don't grab me by 3, I stop watching. I've actually had to fire a few shows because they were just sitting on my DVR and I didn't care anymore (Lost Girl, I'm looking at you). I recorded the pilot of The Americans, but I was feeling overwhelmed by my tivo, so I deleted it. Now that I've freed up some space, I might give it a shot.

Oh, my God, Tim Olyphant. With that face, you hardly have to be good, but you are. He killed me in this one, starting from "You still look like Ava Gardner"

That was an excellent moment that I almost forgot about with everything after.

I mean, writing it out, it's a good line, I suppose, but it's the mixture of emotions Raylan said it with that made it really great. And, of course, my dad and I hardly speak so that was almost a gimme, although he hasn't told me to eat shit lately. Yay?

I think The Americans is still finding its feet a bit, but I like the cast very much and they manage to keep the tension high in each episode.
