The American's (FX's version of Homeland)

**AzazaelFenrir** · 2013-01-30 10:58

For all of you Homeland fans out there, FX's version starts tonight. Slightly different in that it is set in 1980's during all the cold war shit. FX has had some pretty good shows lately so here's hoping it doesn't suck.

avclub called it "the best drama pilot of the season" so that's something I guess

**RKenshin** · 2013-01-30 17:23

It looks pretty interesting, but I'm almost scared to watch any 'serious' TV shows on Fox now.

What was the last great non-reality/sitcom Fox had that wasn't canceled before a proper ending? I can't think of any off-hand.

(yeah I'm biased... Firefly, and then Terranova)

FX doesn't have that bad of a track record.

This thread needs a BUMP.

Just watched the pilot and started the 2nd episode, both commercial-free streams on the FX website

Very intrigued so far.

**Moss** · 2013-02-24 15:45

Ok the 3rd episode was also amazing.

Seriously people you are really missing out if you aren't watching this show.

FREE STREAM on FX website with no commercials, do eet

I've been thinking about checking this out. Can you give a rundown of what the show is like, aside from it being Russian spies living in American?

**archibaldcrane** · 2013-03-07 14:41

We've been watching it, haven't seen last night's episode yet. Sure is a lot of hot sexual violence directed Felicity's way.
