Allegiance

I love Allegiance's original and astute writing. I can tell it is going to be one hell of a thrilling ride, with A list New York actor at the helm that will give it just the right authentic feel it needs. The pilot episode was fast paced, dramatic, suspenseful and artfully executed. Allegiance is high quality network TV. Also, I love Cohen and Davis, they are like Bogie and Becall together. And Stenhouse has such a wonderful Sherlock Holmes-like qualities when he is assessing data. I believe Nolfi has a big hit on his hands. Love, Love, Love this show! I don't see any similarities to The Americans other than the fact they are both about Russians.

If you haven't seen Allegiance, you should. I love a good spy thriller and this one fits the bill.

It has a great cast and an intricate storyline. It's well paced and has some interesting plot twists. I suspect not all is as it seems and there will be more surprises along the way.

The pilot did a great job of introducing the characters and their relationships to one another. All the actors played their parts well and were believable, particularly Scott Cohen, Hope Davis, and Gavin Stenhouse.

Eagerly looking forward to see how the story unfolds.

...I love this show,( earnest acting & earnest scriptwriting), but the scripts, a la 'Breaking Bad' require a certain amount of investment in time, as they are very intricately written. Despite that it is a suitable replacement for suspense addicts(a la breaking bad)& a good introductory primer on the inner workings of "KGB-like' SOviet intelligence agency apparatchik. ALso, unlike 'Madame Secretary', w/ tea Leoni,you could even imagine this family living in your neighborhood. I also like to watch shows w/ unknown actors, a la Anna Gunn('Skyler WHite'of BB),instead of the usualHollywood A- listers,.....all in all, villainy always makes for a good show, the more villains the better. THE final act? hopefully, a second season for a great show.....

I agree with a previous comment about the "Mom".... really don't like her AT ALL. It has real potential! So very many shows I like are being zapped, and for what??!?! Reality TV?? Singing, dancing, survivor type crap I can't believe any of my fellow Americans actually WATCH that stuff. Meanwhile, anything interesting, exciting, or "God forbid" challenging gets zapped.

I really hope the below is true!! "I believe this show does it as well as most others but I love the twist with the parents being Russian spies. Yes I know it has been done, The Americans. Before everyone jumps on me I am not saying they are in the same caliber as The Americans, but I think there will be room for this one as well.

"Intelligence Agency TV shows are quickly replacing those gawd awful reality shows and really aren't we all glad for that." !! YES WE ARE!!

I waited eagerly for each weeks episode and i could not believe it when i was told that the series was cut.. why oh why was this great series cut when lesser series made the cut?

I loved every single one of the cast.. there are very few shows that i have loved all of the main cast and this was one of them.. the story was lovely.. the cast was lovely.. the chemistry was lovely and the acting was good.. hey NBC some winners start out slow thats no reason to cut them.. did you not see the overall rating of the show? bring it back.. Cast of Allegiance you were great individually and as a whole and i love you guys ;_)
