    Are we supposed to take this show seriously -- or is it just an unfunny comedy? Totally unbelievable characters, really bad writing, generally weak acting all combine to make nearly unwatchable show. The plot moves forward only because of the insanely intelligent son who has apparently absorbed every piece of knowledge available in the world -- a walking Google/Wikipedia so to speak.Are we supposed to take this show seriously -- or is it just an unfunny comedy?

The plot moves forward only because of the insanely intelligent son who has apparently absorbed every piece of knowledge available in the world -- a walking Google/Wikipedia so to speak. The CIA vs. the modern day Russian spies who apparently have agents working on every U.S. street corner. The CIA (this may be the only true-to-life aspect of the show) is totally amateurish and inept. I gave "Allegiance" a "4" only because I was feeling unrealistically generous tonight.

    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.
