Generally suspenseful and well acted. But it does have its weaknesses. Three seasons in, and I am wondering if this series is more about psychological depression and group therapy than it is about Soviet agents and spying. There is not much of that going on. There are interesting scenes, but to get to them you have to go through a number of truly boring plays and exchanges. With the acting talents they have going for them, directors and writers could have done a much better job.

One of the best of the best. Elizabeth and her hubby are Oscar awards, fantastic writers, story line, but supreme acting. Thank you for the show, am now watching which might now be there last season. Fantastic work to each and everyone of you, behind and n front f the camera and everyone n between. Our popcorn maker is nearly burnt out Lucille Bauer

Had my doubts. Seasons 1&2 were pretty good and I was worried that thing would become formulaic. But its just the opposite. Season 3 was the most original story arc. I am hooked.
