I have put it on series link - I think you need to see at least two (possibly three) episodes of anything to be sure i you'll like it so am waiting til I have a couple to do the initial test viewing.

(that makes me sound weird, doesn't it?)

It was billed as "filling the Homeland-shaped hole in your lie", which is promising.

I've seen the first three episodes by now (double bill on RTE on Thursday night) and I'm still loving it :) Think it's great how it shows the conflicts in their lives, sometimes tempted to defect, sometimes still gung-ho about the motherland even after living in the US for all that time.

Blinking good, isn't it? Waiting now for DH to catch up so we can watch rest on series link together. Love it when we have a 'show' and I don't think thats happened since Lost.

Really enjoying this. Watching on RTE, so I don't want to accidentally post a spoiler, but Matthew Rhys is indeed lovely, I want Keri Russell's hair and their fictional kids must be the least curious teenagers in history.

I'm only up to episode 2, is RTE Irish tv?. The suspense about the new neighbour who's in the FBI is killing me. Brilliant how the husband and wife can go from assassins to civilians in the space of 30 seconds.

Yep, Rte is Irish telly. We've just had episode three and I'm hooked (and also fascinated by the amount of wigs they appear to own).

I've watched the first 2 episodes on itv player. I'm hooked. I agree with the pp who said "it fills the homeland shaped hole in your life" - I can't wait for the 3rd series of that either!

I was holding my breath at times when the FBI neighbour was investigating Grin

Loving it! And wondering are the kids left home alone when their parents are doing their Spy Thing out and about for hours at night?
