The continuing saga of secret Soviet spy family the
Jennings is one of my favorites right now.
I love this cold war drama set during the ‘80s so much. There are no cellphones or hi-tech Mission
impossible kind of gadgets. It’s just
two spies working with their contacts to steal as much info they can to help
their country, which happens to be the Soviet Union. Like Walt in Breaking Bad, Elizabeth and
Philip are hiding the truth from their loved ones, as well as in many ways
going against their own hearts. It’s
thrilling to see two people do such vile things only to turn out to be fairly
complicated and passionate parents. As
well as the Jennings, there is FBI agent Stan Beeman and his double-triple
agent Nina Sergeevna to seem to be setting up the show for even more drama in
later seasons. And then there’s poor
Martha, oh so naïve and yet so committed.
I have no idea how her story will end but I’m assuming it will not be
good. I can’t wait to see the newest
season. A-
