    Nonsense!
    The concept is interesting but ... ....
    Absurd, unrealistic, unbelievable etc etc ... the writing is terrible and the acting so-so ... seems to be a cheap imitation of the 'Americans' that fails completely.
    I am giving the show a '1' because I'm in a good mood.
    I understand this show has been canceled ... a wise decision.

    Unwatchable, ridiculous, absurd, stupid. I would rather watch adverts on TV then suffer this show taking screen time. Because at least with adverts, they supposedly were trying to sell something available for purchase. Not something shown as fake.

    I am curious what the demographic of this show is made for, assuming its bracket falls into delusional gullible narcissist. I was hoping    Unwatchable, ridiculous, absurd, stupid.

    I was hoping for a show like, Spooks, or the Americans. Not nonsense, showing live cremation, jumping on to the Sunday roast, because some scared potato wants to deflect rather then be analyzed with having ties to the CIA, borrowing from the rest of the families spy games. Who are paranoid that war is coming to town and had better play dress up.

    I couldn't even watch10 minutes on fast forward....Avoid altogether, unless watching those soapbox spies.    … Expand

    Can't reward such an obvious rip off. NBC is on the verge of becoming a cable channel. Actually that might be a great idea. It's worked for AMC and FX.

    I am delighted that this show was cancelled. It really creeped me out..reminded me of my grandmother who escaped from Siberia during the Bolshevik revolution. Without her I wouldn't exist and have all the creativity I have.

    Some scintillating twists bordering on US propaganda geopolitics. Overall, it is badly written with atrocious acting which the director must be partly to blame for. Many events in the major plot are annoying and insult the intelligence. A done and dusted spy thriller lacking credibility.

    Allegiance, set in the present-day, is at attempt to be a thoughtful drama about the differences between loyalty to family and loyalty to country, but its atmosphere is as drab as an early John LeCarre novel, without the prickly dialogue or tricky plotting.... And: We lost Parenthood to this?

    It's not terrible, but rather aggressively mediocre.

    Even when it’s fun, Allegiance doesn’t do anything The Americans isn’t doing far better.
