Some things I liked some I did not.
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreI saw this series in 2018. What struck me was the similarities with the Skripal poisoning case in the UK. The series was not very good, though.
View MoreWow - ! I watch a lot of shows online because they simply don't show where I live.I started watching Allegiance 2 days ago, and I've finished season 1...and then learn, that there will be no season 2! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!????? Gutted - ! It's SUCH a good show...!! I was thinking excitedly ahead to season 2, thinking 'this will DEFINITELY be a repeat!" It's different from the usual stuff, although close enough that it's something most would give a go...and then get hooked! The Characters are for the most part really cool, and the potential between some of them - is awesome! I thought it's so close in quality to Grimm, ...Suits...and several others that have seen several seasons.....and the actors are people who I think would be developed and grown to connect with us. What a shame it's not going to see more seasons.Please someone - pick up the show!!!!!
View MoreThere are several reviewers who call this show a ripoff of "The Americans". To this rather true assessment, I say this: yes...so what? About 90% of the cop shows on TV are ripoffs of Dragnet, Adam 12 and TJ Hooker (among others). All of the crime scene procedurals are ripoffs of CSI.The majority of sci fi shows out there mimic Star Trek in some major way. The others steal from Star Wars, X-Men or another easily identifiable antecedent. This copycat behavior is what Hollywood does. I don't say this is a good thing, far from it. But it's what gets approved and broadcast.As to the show itself... the show's dialogue is actually better than most dramas out here. As good as "The Americans" is, this show gives it a run for its money. Cue cards notwithstanding.Forgive the ethnocentrism, but as a non-Russian, I don't actually care if most of the actors aren't native Russian speakers (Levieva is, I believe). Nor do I care that their accents do not ring true.For those debating if the show is worth their 45 minutes, I say give the first episode a look. So far, it's a helluva lot better than many recent shows.
View MoreThe show is what you would expect, typical wonder kid who knows it all and those working with him try to keep up with his brilliance. He knows the answer to every mystery and is good-looking, speaks several languages and has a photographic memory where he can recall specific stuff that happened 20 years ago. Typical cold war stereotypes of Russians but set in today's time. Russia is out to destroy the free United States and the new KGB will resort to mobster tactics to accomplish their goals. The writing is average and the events are reliability predictable.Not bad if you've got time to kill, but definitely nothing groundbreaking. If you like espionage shows, "The Americans" is a much much better show.
