Is this actually thriller?


As of recently, I have possiblity to watch series from begining. Now, it seems interesting, but I am very interested - is it suspense, thriling and intense, something like 24, or is it more drama based? Also, from premise it seems like good soil for American propaganda. Now, if it is such case, I also wouldn't like to spend my time on this. With all due respect, I have no interes for one-sided tv-series.

It is more drama with a bit of thriller woven in it. It is more about a married couple of spies with two kids and how they handle living a double life.

It is an American show, so it has a bit of US propaganda, but it tries to be as neutral as possible and show both sides of the story. You will see a lot of good Russians and bad Americans. But, ultimately, no main character on the show is either truly good or truly bad.

It is a good show. Give it a try.

Fighting a religious war is like fighting over whose imaginary friend is better.
