Besides just inserting a political theme that feels heavy handed and clunky, it makes things feel horribly dated and trite on a rewatch.

Never watched The Americans but will. I feel similarly about Breaking Bad

BB had some people that definitely chew on the scenery. The Americans doesn’t have that.

I think every character in BB is so realistic that it can be annoying.

Yep. For almost all, I can point to someone I know that’s very similar.

Agreed, very well done. Of course I'm biased as I've been lecturing on the Cold War for 15 years, especially Reagan &

I enjoyed it, and my wife paid the acting a similar, albeit backhanded...

Me too. I just resigned myself to "it's a tv show" and let it go. She couldn't.
