It looks interesting from the description, but I guess I'm getting lazy/fussy as I age, because I've had it with subtitled stuff. It's too distracting from the visuals, and too much work to try not to miss too much.

A funny thing, though: my TiVo is giving me suggestions for other shows if I like this; and the suggestions include about 30 things (both movies and TV shows) from just about every imaginable major genre. Some are rather bizarre/dubious, such as Full Frontal With Samantha Bee and Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll.

I think TiVo's algorithm needs a little tweaking.

Highly recommend watching, if you like The Americans, and don't mind subtitles.

I was looking for an excuse to practice my German a little, thanks!

Is the first season of Deutschland available anywhere? I've heard good things but couldn't find if

Hulu

Thanks. Maybe a dumb question but I have never used hulu and nobody I know uses it. Is it worth it? What is their "wheelhouse" in terms of programming

They've got a lot of stuff that aired on network the previous week. It is a good pairing with Netflix, if you've ever used that. You can get a free trial to Hulu when you sign up, and just cancel if you don't like it. They also have free content, so you can snoop around before you commit to anything.

Thanks
