Special thanks to Brian G. for commissioning this custom podcast using our Subbable subscription system! Brian decided to have us take a peek at FX's The Americans, episodes 101 and 102, "Pilot" and "The Clock", and we were only too happy to oblige. The Americans is a taut, well made, great looking, and stylish thriller set in the heydey of the Reagan Administration revolving around two Russian intelligence agents deeply embedded as American civilians. What did we like? What didn't we like? Listen and find out! Thanks again, Brian!
