I watched the pilot and have the other episodes on my DVR, but haven’t watched them.

Really annoyed by two things:

1) No FBI agent would volunteer that he worked in “counterintelligence” to his new neighbors.

2) DC doesn’t have a “port.” There’s one dock in Alexandria where a ship brings paper for the Washington Post very sporadically, but it certainly doesn’t go overseas.

Good observations..but I suspect it has more to do with dramatic license..

The show's quite good..I especially enjoy hearing the Soviets spout all the criticisms of Reagan (i.e. "he's a lunatic")that the MSM and the American left have been using for years..

The twist seems to be that it's the female who is the more ideologically committed/fanatical..the husband seems to have been somewhat "sensitized/softened" by the time they've already spent in the USA.

"Really annoyed by two things:"

The one that got me in the first episode was when he went back and beat the crap out of that guy for leering at his 13 year old. Now what soviet spy would risk getting stabbed/killed or severely beaten in a fight with some brute who leared at his kid? A Dad yes, but a trained Soviet spy? No way...
