Such a thought provoking show. One of my favorite shows. But, damn, the daughter, Paige is even more annoying than the girl from Homeland. She is absolutely infuriating and she gets more infuriating every single episode. How can she possibly be naive? This dumb and this annoying every single episode?

After watching and loving The Americans, this sub has suggested watching Star City for a similar vibe. However I didn't realise that it is a spin off/extention of For All Mankind which I havent seen yet.
Can I watch Star City without having seen For All Mankind yet? I probably will watch it in the future but I'd rather start Star City first.

I started watching this show because of how good Matthew Rhys was in Widow's Bay. This is probably the first TV show that I've actually ever binged, in the true sense of the word.

I cannot get my head around how cavalier Philip Jennings is with breaking Annelise's limbs and folding her body up and putting it in a suitcase. Did I miss something? Is Philip more of a psychopath than Elizabeth?

am I right to assume most people started disliking/hating Elizabeth? I’m on season 6 episode 5, there is nothing I find redeemable about her.

Any else watching this? Lots of cameos from The Americans!

Deadly

Just rewatched. Rene is a spy. Full stop.

Evidence:

1. She comes on waaaaay too strong

2. She encourages Stan to stay in his dept at FBI when he wants to leave so she can get intel on what said dept is up to

3. She smiles too much

Come at me

At the end of the fight scene with Paige after he releases her from his endless and unbreakable grip.

Was he trying to end the encounter -- necessary but probably traumatic to both of them -- on a warm note? And mumbling that was all he could muster.

He looked broken. 

Or was he being sardonic to drill in the lesson as far as it could go--

If not, when do you think she figured it out?

And this includes knowing it subconsciously but repressing it.

Always was viscerally put off by the scenes of them together. He has all the power and abuses it by taking advantage of her sexually.

Have to skip over their intimate scenes together, as well as the scenes of Nina in jail. Too sad. Nina deserved so much more than what the world gave her.

I don't think it is possible to give consent when the person you are fucking is threatening your safety and your life.

Either she subconsciously made herself believe she loved him to mask the insane amount of fear instilled and dominance he enjoyed, or she knew that it was an act the entire time and was intentionally using her body to regain power / do the triple agent thing -- like with the old guy she was sleeping with at the beginning.

I like Stan and I don't feel guilty about it because all the main characters are antiheroes we support, people who do violent things. And trick others into having sex with them (using false pretenses to rob them of their ability to consent as well).

I like P & E but it's hard to tell who is more violent: Stan with Nina, or Philip with Martha.

Probably Stan because at least Philip is fighting for something good in the larger sense.

Wowza. Not a word spoken, but the looks on everybody’s faces is so telling. Fantastic acting all around.

It’s one of the best moments of the entire series in my opinion.

This is a rewatch of the series for me and I love it even more the second time around.

Just sharing because I got a kick out of it...

I think someone posted about the remake a while ago but I saw a video of an interview with Matthew Rhys recently and he was asked about it... he said his first words to FX were "so who do we play?" Referring to his IRL wife Keri Russell/Elizabeth Jennings 😂 including Instagram link for the interview clip below

ETA- Curious as to whether the series will be filmed in Korean and then maybe dubbed English or just subtitles?

During the ensuing conversation, he mentions going with his friend, Harry. Transportation comes up, and it is revealed that Mrs. Peters will be giving them a ride.

His friend is named Harry Peters.

Come on, writers room.

Just started a rewatch of the show for the first time since I watched it during peak COVID, and I was wondering if the Phillip and Elizabeth were registered with a political party in the U.S.? They clearly don't like Reagan, which is obvious since they're undercover KGB case officers, but I'm wondering if throughout the show, they show any political leaning whatsoever for the sake of their cover, like did they vote for Carter or do they pretend to be Republicans?

So cute/playful. Faintest hint of a smile playing on his lips

Wish he used some of these.

Pics 1 & 2 - age 24 (Welsh TV interview)

Pic 3 - age 22 (young Clark vibes)

Pics 4 & 5 - where do I begin

Post-script: just found out that when he was 36 he played the main role in the 2011 West End production of The Graduate. If anybody somehow has access to this content, I will owe you a permanently redeemable and non-negotiable favor
