In light of the recent surge of TV related threads I figured I'd throw this one there.
I started watching The Americans maybe a week ago? Season 5 is currently airing but I'd not seen any of the show before so I grabbed a couple seasons to check it out.
Wow! I dropped the ball on this one, can't believe I haven't been watching from the beginning.
Love the premise and it's executed really well from what I've watched so far (almost finished with season 2). I haven't enjoyed a show this much to watch several episodes a day in awhile ... highly recommend you (Porridge) check it out if you've not seen it and love some good TV.

That show is definitely on my list of shows to watch.
Someone mentioned this show to me recently (and had mentioned that they loved it). I thought it was a newer show and then learned from them that it's been on for a while.
I'll see if I can find it on Netflix/Amazon etc.

This thread really had a lot of steam.
Anyways, I'm now up to date with the show as it airs on television ... only had to watch 60 episodes or so in a couple weeks span.
Obviously I watch a lot of TV, and I can say this is definitely one of the best television shows I've seen. I think it reminds me of my #1 show of all time The Sopranos , juxtaposing a crazy lifestyle with the more mundane everyday challenges of raising a family, etc.
I demand that everyone who loves good television start watching immediately.

I started to watch the first episode (watched the first 10 mins or so). There was a lot going on.
I especially liked that entire opening scene with Fleetwood Mac's Tusk blaring in teh background.
Will continue when I'm back stateside.

I just re-read this thread and noticed that you used the word, "juxtapose" in there. Kudos, mang. * clap clap * I'm going to try and use that word in my next thread.
