Kind of interesting. In fact I have a nostalgia for the Cold War, at least we knew who we were then, our side, their side or neutral as the case may be. Back then, Bronco Bama would have never been elected, most likely would have failed to even get through the primaries. Still, as someone who became 13 in 1979 and spent the 1980's as a teen and young adult, they did a good job of capturing the era of the time. A few minor nitpicks, maybe it is my Asperger's kicking in, but I did see a Volvo that would not have been on the U.S. market until 1984 (this is 1981) and the same thing with a Toyota minivan.

I keep hoping Matthew Rys has a "come to Jesus moment" and defects. I did see yesteday's episode though with Robert's (the KGB agent who was killed) where they promised his wife a "good life" in Cuba (I'd rather take the "zonk" from "Let's Make a Deal") but instead, take her baby to the USSR and killed her off in an overdose. Same with the maid and her son over the clock. I understand that maybe in the spy world, you gotta do some bad things but still, these people in the KGB here are really a bunch of scumbums.
