    Episode one spends an awful lot of time on digging a huge hole in the ground with fairly predictable results. And in episode two there’s a lot of wandering around a greenhouse buzzing with insects that’s supposed to be ominous but instead comes off like a homage to “The X-Files.” ... The third episode moves all the stories forward at a better clip.

    I know critics are obsessed with this show but I believe this one should be the final season. The missions are getting hard to believe. TheyI know critics are obsessed with this show but I believe this one should be the final season. The missions are getting hard to believe. They are the only survivors among the buch of soviet agents we have been introduced all these years, the CIA has "the americans"s identik and nobody recongnize them . A humble opinion, sorry. Enough for me. I ll better wait till next year to see how they manage to get an end for these two.… Full Review »
