  1. @ai6yr “there’s this Soviet operative, let’s call him Fiódor, a slepeer agent that has been living for 30 years in the US.”

    “He receives encrypted communications via ham radio and no one has caught him yet at the park”

    “He goes there with his weird rod and a receptor hidden in his bag. A fishing license and some pictures are more than enough cover”

  2. #SBS (australia) is currently showing #TheAmericans

    If you like free to air, and you haven’t watched it yet, The Americans is on my top ten list of brilliant series to binge

    It’s about a husband and wife who are Soviet spies, living in a USA suburb as ordinary everyday (white) Americans.

    The setting is the late Cold War era:
    Reagan is the new President of the USA.

    Yes, there’s a touch of Hollywood “action formula”, but it’s refreshing because in order to show both the Soviet and the US point of view, it presents both sides as flawed.

    Also a chance to see what central planning can do to an economy.

    Excellent, character driven drama

  3. The I have with the tv show "The Americans" now that I'm half way through Season 3 is that these episodes are like potato chips. You can't eat just one. Anyway it's midnight and I have to try to get some sleep rather than binge watching a 4th one... #tv #TheAmericans

  5. I started the series “The Americans” last year. First couple episodes were strong. Then it sputtered a bit. But by S1E5 I am now totally sucked in and have to hold myself back from binge watching. #tv #TheAmericans

  7. The Americans (1958) by Saul Steinberg (1914-1999) is a wall fresco in eight parts, measuring over 70 metres in length, inspired by the ‘American way of life’. #TheAmericans #SaulSteinberg #Brussels #Expo58 #FineArtsBelgium #RMFAB #MRBAB #KMSKB

  8. re #Watching #TheAmericans

    i love this show soooooo much.

    russian who defected to america whines in russia they had to share their apartment with three families (the year is 1984)

    me, thinking <just you wait, mate. nobody has to share in the west, where homelessness is criminalised>

  9. When I watched #TheAmericans, one thing that stood out was how many scenes in that series were just two characters having quiet conversations with each other. It doesn't sound like much, but that show was able to pack so much tension and drama into those quiet conversations.
    #Andor also does this really effectively. As a fan of spy thrillers, it's obvious that Gilroy and his writers really did their homework on making a really good spy story.

  10. #cinema #Mexico86
    (César Diaz, 2024)

    Maria vit sous de fausses identités à Mexico où elle a fuit la dictature au Guatemala et continue un dangereux militantisme politique révolutionnaire. Lorsque sa mère lui rend visite avec son fils Marco pour annoncer qu’elle est mourante, un choix cornélien doit être fait entre son engagement politique et maternel. Un film belgo-français intense qui rappelle la série d’espionnage #TheAmericans (Joe Weisburg, 2013-2018).

  11. Right after the nightmare that happened in January, I decided to take a trip back to the 80's and rewatch "The Americans". I just finished the final episode.

    While I do highly, highly recommend it to just about anyone, there are groups of people that it will hit harder than others. It's a show about loyalty to one's ideas. Our ideas about country, family, religion, parenting, friendship, and the American way.

    It can also be a very violent show so I'm sure that's not for everyone. But, if you need an escape back to what seemed to be a simpler time, there is so much to love about the show. The acting is incredible. The music cues are spot on. The 80's tech and cars are perfect. It also has one of the best TV series finales that I've seen.

    Be careful if you decide to watch an episode. You may just need to watch some more.

  12. It’s fun to rewatch stuff eons after the first play through. The guy on the left is FBI Counterintelligence Agent Stan Beeman from #TheAmericans. One of the best shows out there.

    Edit: somehow this isn’t the actor who played Beeman. I’m blown away. This is Glenn Morshower

  13. It’s so gratifying to me, as someone who loved the show #TheAmericans from day one and watched it as it aired, to see it finally getting some of the viewership it deserved, now in streaming. I’m not surprised it’s aged well, but I am pleased. (And weirdly kind of…proud? My little show that could. ❤️)

  14. Hear me out: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Mad Men, and The Americans are part of the same cinematic universe …

  15. I started watching a Russian language film called The Ninth last night on #Tubi and I woke up this morning to Russian voices.

    The Red Dawn scenario crossed my mind for a moment. Then I heard my wife in the kitchen and instantly feared she’d suspect me as part of the 2nd generation Americans program for no reason at all.

  17. @karoli
    All of this about Musk reminds me of the series “The Americans”. Russian spy’s, pretend to be Americans, their histories are false and businesses are a cover.

  18. We've done this on twitter, but there are lots of creative folks here who I've never interacted with, so I'm curious!

    If you could work on a #comic or #graphicnovel, or tell new stories about an existing piece of media (one not published by DC or Marvel), what would it be?

    My top 4: #TheNiceGuys. A Sal & Sally story from the post- #MadMen years. Cutty from #TheWire and Martha from #TheAmericans.
