New TV series started. Similar to the Americans but I found it a bit more interesting to watch as more going on.

Only seen first episode so far and it was OK but will have to wait and see before final thoughts

I watched the first a couple of days ago and didn't think worthy of posting.

Yes it was quite weak I guess.

What? You mean like Magnum PI is similar to Poirot since they are both detectives and set in two different time periods :rolleyes:

I quite like it so far. Not as good as The Americans or even that similar but it's not bad compared to most of the tripe airing.

It does feel like it's doing too much too quickly though, kinda hard to see how it could play out over multiple seasons at this point. It's based on an Israeli show called The Gordin Cell (Ta Gordin) which is meant to be quite good so i'm willing to watch it a while to see how it turns out.

The original Israeli version gets compared to The Americans. Not seeing it with this US remake though.
