The Americans season 2, episode 3 “The Walk In” is reviewed. The theme of family life clashing with the spy mission is visited again. Are the show’s anachronisms too much? Are Nina’s feelings legitimate, or is she trying to save her own skin? Is Paige a more interesting character than Carrie on Homeland?

Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), Alonso Duralde (Thewrap.com and Linoleum Knife podcast) and Robert Abele (Film critic, Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly) discuss season 2, episode 3 of FX’s The Americans, “The Walk In.”
