I'm trying hard to like The Americans, and I almost do, but it feels like it takes a lot of thinking sometimes.

I am loving it! Lots of suspension of disbelief required, though.

I couldn't get through the first season. At what point can I expect to be hooked?
- Meg VMeg
I'm still in the first season, so can't help you.

One of my favourites.

Er, I was hooked right away. On the other hand, I couldn't stand The Assets.

Perhaps it helps if one watched all of Felicity back in the day? ;)
- maʀtha
I never saw any of Felicity
- ellbeecee
see?
- maʀtha
Oh, I watched Felicity though.
- Meg VMeg
and after putting my hardcore librarian skills to work, I understand the Felicity connection.

So, I kept pushing myself and and near the end of the first season I really started enjoying it. I'm about 3 episode into 2 now, and look forward to watching it - but it's not something I can binge on. 1, maybe 2 episodes and I need to step away for a while. \

I like it, but can't binge on it. I think I'm early in season 2. never watched Felicity. must suspend much disbelief. Part of my enjoyment comes from the 70s & 80s vibe, which I remember.

Yes, for example, Paige's involvement in the nuclear freeze movement. I was about her age at that time and also went to freeze protests.

After seeing this thread, I ended up plowing through 2/3rds of the first season. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would (especially the episode that covers the assassination attempt on Reagan.) [I never watched Felicity - saw part of an episode and really disliked it.]

I'm with Stephanie, mostly. I loved the first season, have a third of the second season lingering on the DVR. I like it but can't always make myself watch it? I do love the 70s/80s vibe, and never watched Felicity.
