I haven't been watching much TV lately either, but I'm totally loving The Americans. There's a good mix of character development and action, though I keep wondering, how long can I keep routing for these bad guys!

Well, they’re only the bad guys in terms of the politics of watching the show in the States–in their own idiom, they’re patriots working under cover. An we know, from history, that they’re not going to overthrow the government or do anything to cause catastrophic harm to the nation. So you watch the show for the characters.
