NFT: The Americans is the Best Show that Nobody's Watching

natefit : 1/28/2015 1:21 pm
"Basically nobody watches The Americans. Fewer than 2 million people watched its most viewed episode in season two, and only 1.12 million tuned in for the least-viewed episode. Yes, those numbers more than double when you add in everybody who watches later on DVR and streaming sites, but even if those numbers were to triple, they would still reflect a tiny audience."

Every time I recommend this show to someone, theyve never heard of it.

jumped the shark many seasons ago for me. The show was golden for those first 3 or 4 seasons, I just don't like the newest seasons all that much


Definitely nowhere near as good as it used to be, but every now and then they can hit one out of the park. Last season's episode with Country Mac for example.
is The Americans worth buying to watch online?

I can't find it on in demand or anywhere but online. I'm a big spy/thriller reader.

I'm looking forward to tonight- season premiere.



Spock, not to miller this thread, but did you watch the Habs last night? I didn't watch the game, but by the box score they were outplayed in every possible stat other than the scoreboard. Just wondering if you watched the game and if the box score was representative of the game. I mean I'll take it of course, but it's what has me concerned with the habs this year.


Yeah, it seems like Habs are counting on Carey to bail them out just about every night. When you only get 23 shots on goal at home, you are not exactly putting a lot of pressure on the opposition. They did have their good share of power play chances which helped them and hurt us. Honestly, I'm concerned too.

They do make our intelligence people and facilities are suspect but enjoy none the less. Another show started to watch and have been enjoying is State of Affairs, it gives me my CIA fix while Homeland is on hiatus!. very similar.
just watched the first episode of the season

and it is a great show. My favorite thing about it is that the Russians, when they are alone, speak RUSSIAN. That was a risky move on their part but I always hate when foreigners in movies speak English with an accent instead of their native tongue. I prefer the subtitles.

THIS! It's the biggest criticism for FX's "Tyrant" series which is otherwise fun. But, when you have the series set in a Middle Eastern country and everyone is practically always speaking English, it takes away from the story.

was very disppointing I thought. Anyway best moment of the first episode of TA: The match cut from Keri Russel crying at hearing her Mom's dying voice on the tape to the girl crying in the car right after she blew Matthew Rhys. Astonishing and effective. What other show on bdcst TV would do that?

The best show I watched this year was "The Missing" on STARZ. Great plot - although hard to watch at first, especially if you have young kids - and an amazing finish...


Yeah... my wife and I just couldn't do it. We were going to look up spoilers to see if it was worth the investment.
Anyone else watch the first few episodes of SYFY's 12 Monkeys?
