My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Americans (Season 1)

The premise of the show alone entertains. Two Russian spies live as an American couple during the ‘80s Cold War. Not even their kids know their true vocation. This might be the most complex love story on TV for even though they’re married they consider themselves coworkers more than lovers. Yet the sexual tension is very much present and as the FBI tries to find them, they do what spies do and that’s deceive, collect information and kill. Something tells me this show is only going to get better. Is this the show that’s going to take over for Breaking Bad? Only time will tell. Grade: A-
