Haven't seen homeland so can't compare them, but the show is definitely not dialogue heavy/slow moving. So far no episode has seemed like place holder/filler and there's a good amount of action built in. It's surprisingly light on politics as well given the shows subject matter. If your on the fence about it, it's worth checking out a couple of episodes in a row to get a feel for it.Not sure what about it was exactly but I'm assuming this is more of the same dialogue heavy, cat and mouse, political drama?
I like this better than Homeland because Homeland is supposed to be about counter-terrorism/intelligence but usually just ends up devolving into chases and firefights with someone going against orders to be the hero. The Americans truly feels like a spy vs. spy show because they keep fights and chases short and more believable while sticking to the premesis that following orders and being smart are the only things keeping you alive. Add that to the 80's lack of technology/communication and it really does make for an intriguing show.I haven't watched this yet but was thinking about investing in it. It gives a really Homeland vibe although surely won't be as critically acclaimed. Just wondering if that's what to expect from this series as I fucking HATED Homeland. Not sure what about it was exactly but I'm assuming this is more of the same dialogue heavy, cat and mouse, political drama?
Edit: Not that I'm against that style of show. I loved Rubicon which I'd say is a similar style even though that show was horrendously slow and never really went anywhere.
From their talk after breakfast it seems like they could have staged it (a bit) to keep the daughter from barging in again, but at the same time, they'd have to be pretty fucking fast on the trigger if nothing was happening alreadySo did that dude eat out his wife a mere hours after she was three way fucking some dude?
I have a rule about how long between dicks it must be before going down

I concur on both counts. This show is fantastic and I don't understand why no one seems to be watching it. Also, Nina is insanely hot. Every time she's on screen I wish this were an HBO show so we'd be getting some real nudity.Just caught up on this one. All I can say is that this is a great show that more people should watch. Nina might be the hottest chick on the planet.
