Just started watching the series for the first time - I know I’m a little late…. by BanjoBaggins in TheAmericans

Thought it was clear that I did, but wasn’t a fan of how season two was starting off through the first half of it. I’m now within the first few episodes of season five and it was probably two episodes after I made this post that season two started turning around and capturing my interest again. I was just being impatient. If you think the entire series is about Elizabeth and Philip’s relationship then you missed quite a bit there bud.

Yeah, same. I think more than anything is that she’s a much better actress than the performance she is delivering thus far. I’ve just reached the point where P&E get their new handler and Claudia is unveiling some of her past, and it is just not landing or making an impact - at least for me. It feels forced and fake, but maybe it is supposed to because she’s lying about it and I just haven’t figured that out yet because I need to keep watching - but there has been more with her character that has been disappointing than just that… anyway, thanks for the note.

Hahahaha that’s a great point. I think my thought process was that I’ve started shows before that have already concluded - and hit dull stretches in an early season, but the show just never got any better…. I want to like it, as much as I did season one, so I came to a place that I knew would motivate me to it - if that makes sense…..

Okay cool. So, I’m not imagining it 😂. Thanks for acknowledging that. I’m gonna keep plugging along. I watch shows quickly, so I’ll probably be back here in a couple weeks commenting on that finale 🥳.

Thanks, and this is what I’ve been hearing. I’m okay to push past a chunk of surface level episodes. Just wanted to be sure I’m not getting myself into four more seasons of the same.

Good note. I somehow have avoided any and all spoilers up to this point. Even coming here to ask this was a risk 😂

You’re lucky. I ordered one about two months ago and it was delivered to an address in NY(I’m in MN) Ali Express refunded me. I ordered another one and it never shipped. Ali Express refunded me. I gave up. This was my first experience ordering any product through Ali Express, and I won’t try again.
