The Americans

Yes Maggie we were out, forgot to tape it but caught it on ITVplayer. Looks as if it's going to be good. I didn't think as good as Homeland, but promising. Interesting how the baddies are sort of goodies and the husband is the softer of the couple.

I enjoyed it too.

I haven't seen it yet but now I'm tempted...thank goodness for the various catch-up options!

Yes I liked it too, very original looking forward to seeing how it develops. It was the only thing that was worth watching amid all the dross that's dished up on Saturdays. We haven't bothered to watch the tv on Saturday since Borgen finished.

We're hooked by the Arne Dahl series that took the Saturday 9pm BBC4 slot but that comes to an end this week and I've no hint of what will replace it...otherwise Saturday night is a load of c**p!

Glad to hear good comments. I had intended to watch , then heard it being reviewed on Radio 4 - not good at all, in fact it was practically termed laughable. Didn't manage to see it on Saturday but will probably try on catch up now.

ForzanonnaI sometimes wonder how reviewers manage to keep their jobs as most things that they comment on turns out to be quite good indeed,mr.glamma always insists on watching programmes which have had a rubbish review and 90% of the time the programme is very good.
