As a fan of "The Americans," I really enjoyed this show. It is very different, yet similar. Different in that it is not only historical, but the flash we often see in shows is not there. Not every show needs to be flashy. I liked seeing the history of this event as I recall when it happened. I think the actors did a fine job and I didn't hear many slips in their accents considering they were Brits playing Americans. I thought Paul Rhys was excellent casting and did a fine job - I liked when he was interrogating the Russian spy and almost bite down on the cyanide. I am disappointed that it was canceled after only two episodes only to put on another "Reality" show. I already have my own reality to live in, I want to see shows that affected us (history), or sitcoms in the evening. I am tired of endless magazine shows and reality shows, this was a nice break. Networks are going to start losing viewers if they keep it up.
