...I love this show,( earnest acting & earnest scriptwriting), but the scripts, a la 'Breaking Bad' require a certain amount of investment in time, as they are very intricately written. Despite that it is a suitable replacement for suspense addicts(a la breaking bad)& a good introductory primer on the inner workings of "KGB-like' SOviet intelligence agency apparatchik. ALso, unlike 'Madame Secretary', w/ tea Leoni,you could even imagine this family living in your neighborhood. I also like to watch shows w/ unknown actors, a la Anna Gunn('Skyler WHite'of BB),instead of the usualHollywood A- listers,.....all in all, villainy always makes for a good show, the more villains the better. THE final act? hopefully, a second season for a great show.....
