Watch it. It's worth your time. You may not like it, but it's good enough you should watch it to see for yourself.

I did like the end. Thats what they can do well on TV. Show the cat and mouse part of spying.

They showed a lot more than I thought they would.

Spoiler!

They showed a lot more sex than I expected and the whole rape thing and the finger up the ass dialog I didn't expect.

That being said, I really liked it. In fact, it was quite a bit better than I expected. It kept me hooked through the whole thing and the twists they used aren't sustainable over the long term, but I expect the tone to be set and other plot devices will keep the interest in the story.

I thought it was pretty well done for what it was, and overall I'm really impressed.

And good **** Keri Russell is still smokin ass hot.
