This looks awesome.

jaymes_e06 · 12-27-2012, 10:47 PM

This looks so interesting I can't wait until it premieres.

Sawyer · 01-13-2013, 08:33 PM

I saw that EW made some fairly rude and dismissive cracks about this in their Bullseye section... you know what that means!

Once this show is a hit, they'll be handing out congratulatory verbal handjobs and praise, while pretending they loved it all along.

flickchick85 · 01-13-2013, 11:11 PM

Yeah, I saw that on the Bullseye. Made it sound like they totally hated it. The only other "review" I've read basically consisted of the writer talking themselves into liking it despite a lot of issues. Not the best early buzz, but I'm still looking forward to checking it out for myself.

Sawyer · 01-13-2013, 11:15 PM

I haven't seen any full reviews, but alot of TV reporters on twitter that have seen it seemed to like it alot. Most reviews to come out of EW don't hold much weight as far as I'm concerned, and that goes double for the Bullseye.

I too have been seeing a lot of TV critics on Twitter liked the pilot (Eric of IGN, Tiffany of The TV Watchtower and I think TVLine *I forget who though lol*). Eric tweeted he really liked the first two episodes.

I can't wait...surprised it was advertised on NBC last night during the Golden Globes

Shifty · 01-14-2013, 09:05 PM

Guys on HitFix tweeted that they liked their screener episodes, particularly the male lead. And that was after bashing all the new shows that were previewed at the TCAs.

Good to hear.

riotgirl77 · 01-18-2013, 06:20 PM

Hey guys I'm going to be doing coverage of The Americans at TV Ever After (a site with reviews/recaps, promos, news etc. of TV shows). I put up a news brief...check it out when you can. Thanks!

So I just got this week's EW in the mail, and they didn't hate this show at all. They gave it an A-. So that Bullseye blurb was totally random.

Sawyer · 01-20-2013, 02:53 PM

I get the vague impression that whoever writes the Bullseyes is someone who'd just rather be making *****y comments to their TV while watching the Real Housewives or some E! reality series. Whereas whoever gave it an actual review actually cares about what he/she does.

I found it ok. Will give it a while to see if I can get into it since the promos were good.

Golgo-13 · 01-30-2013, 10:43 PM

I liked it a lot. Love the dynamic between the two leads.

The husband was well cast. And i love the revenge he enacted on the guy who likes young girls.

runawayboulder · 01-30-2013, 10:48 PM

Damn fine first episode. The ending was pretty intense.

Soapy · 01-30-2013, 11:22 PM

Pretty good start. I wasn't crazy about it at first, but it won me over. I'm interested to see where it goes.
