What do you think? Does this show sound like a hit or a flop? Will you check it out?
I love it I love it I love it. At last something different. One twist after another. Several friends and family members have already formed a Fanbase and every week we discuss the episode in detail. Now when can you say that about anything that’s on TV today?
I love this new show! I saw the first 2 episodes on Demand & was hooked! I hope they don’t cancel this one!
I love this show! I watched the 1st 2 episodes on demand & was hooked! I hope they don’t cancel it!
Let there be an ending within the first season, with Alex’s family coming to the side of America and squash the SVR?
I seen 2 episodes so far , and I’m a little disappointed in it . For example , Alex O’Conner has brains and resources but no weapons or fighting skills . Like in the last 10 minutes of episode 2 when the SVR informant was shot by the enemy SVR hit squad , Alex hid by like a coward before his life was saved by his mother when she killed that sniper . I know I ‘m out of line or judgmental , but you think this guy a hero .Right . If this show survives any longer , please… Read more »
Love, love, love this show!
After watchingi it for a few minutes seeing a man going to burned alive is more than I could take. That’s not my idea of entertainment. Too much violence .on TV .
Sounds like a hit for NBC can’t wait for the stat date!
No God…. I will not ever watch!!!
Good cast great writing material good director I will watch it
Love spy, intrigue, lawyer, D.C. Govt shows. HATE so-called Reality shows. At least I know what I like is fiction.
This looks like the most interesting new show NBC has ordered this year. Spies. Family drama. Scott Cohen. Three solid reasons to tune in. I’m disappointed this is being used as a mid-season replacement. I would have thought this show would get the Monday @10 slot after Blacklist wraps for mid-season break. I’ve seen the trailer for State of Affairs, and it didn’t exactly grab me. Hopefully I’m wrong and NBC isn’t wasting there best lead-in on a dud…
….Because George Nolfi is a superb writer and outstanding director.
It has Scott Cohen, that’s all the reason I need to watch it. Looking forward to it
Tried and failed many times before. How will this be different?
