What I thought was neat, was that some of the main characters you'd be rooting either for or against them, but in the next season you may reverse that, then in the following season, you'd revert back, etc. Etc... your opinion of who is "bad" and who is "good" is very fluid.
I'll have to go back and check it out. But bein's I'm 50+ "old guy", I'm pretty much burned out on dark serial killer stuff, war movies, pirates, Sparta/Roman warrior stuff, cowboys, blow em up, shoot em up action flicks, in short, about everything that they keep putting out there. Def not into the zombie thing. I guess there was a vampire decade I ttly missed, thankfully. A good spy thriller still piques my interest, though those are getting pretty well worn too.
So, a happy happy story, eh? lol
Yeah, I'm kind of experiencing that with Saul(Jimmy) of late as he is doing some increasingly bad guy things and never seems to learn his lesson.
You're probably only a handful of years older than me, and I feel like calling you "gramps"I'll have to go back and check it out.

Alot of dark stuff out there these days. I like a well done drama, even wholesome ones with a good story, and I find Saul and the Americans are particularly fresh, compelling. and extremely well done in every sense. I'm burned out on most of the comedy they put out as it is so vulgar these days. Tosh.0 is thoroughly disgusting, IMO, and most standup comics these days are basically obsene and too weird. David Spade is maybe my fav standup guy as he has a unique style and tells funny fresh off the wall stories. There are no good standup guys to compare with the likes of Dangerfield, Carlin, Riggles, Pryor of old. John Oliver is the best late nite guy as Cobert has kind of faded since he went to CBS. I also hate most rock and roll from the 90s onward and rap ttly sucks. 70s and 80s were the best periods for rock and roll, pop music, IMO--nod to the 70s.
In other words, I've gotten very selective w entertainment in my advanced age.
If you'd seen what his character developed into in BB, it would be expected. Plus most of the flashback scenes in 'Saul' show hes a con artist. But he still has a good heart. Most of the time.

You missed the 'Twilight' saga?! OMG! Were you out refilling your oxygen tanks?
Hmm, well I def have to check out the BB to tie the whole thing together. Haven't got to the Saul phase of the story---don't spill the beans! We're at a point in the story where Jimmy's heart intentions are in question. It appears that he is a con-man-aholic who will stick it to anybody--like his own bro-- if expedient to his selfish desires and his gf Kim is getting more corrupted by him.
Admit it...you watch 'The Americans' because seeing John-Boy makes you feel nostalgic.Seriously, I've missed most mainstream television for the better part of 3 decades. Haven't watched any of the so called reality shows, am familiar with many of the sitcom names but haven't watched any of them--can't understand why anyone would. I think mainstream television has really gone down the tubes. Fox so called news is intolerable and CNN is on the level of looping political gossip most of the time.You're probably only a handful of years older than me, and I feel like calling you "gramps"You missed the 'Twilight' saga?!

Saul and the Americans caught me delightfully by surprise.
He does a helluva job in that role. Good to see him still working. I'm really pissed the Soviet pricks killed Nina, though, I miss my NinaAdmit it...you watch 'The Americans' because seeing John-Boy makes you feel nostalgic.Seriously, I've missed most mainstream television for the better part of 3 decades.

Saul and the Americans have the same enticing quality. Tough to wait a whole week to see what happens next.
I quit watching in the second season when there was less chemistry teacher stuff. Also all my students think I make meth in the chemical store room.
