I agree with you on this one...
...except for the part where you put TWD together with the other 2 and call it realistic! :P
Another one to go! Gush, my shows are over for this season, need to wait a year... this leaves plenty of time for the no.2 stuff on my list. xD
If you know any other cool non-slice-of-life shows, tell me. ___
Haha now I see @Saibagen :D
The Americans is a show which I also can't wait to see. It is sooo good :)
The thing is, I did a lecture on university about this stuff in this semester. And it is even more realistic that I could imagine. Big thumbs up for that show.
And if you don't already know that show: Try Shamless. But the US version, not the show from UK.
Yup, "The Americans" are so likeable! I wuv' that show. * - *
After seeing "House of Cards" I looked for a decent spy and/or political story. This one's good!
Shameless? Never heard of it, gonna trust you on that- put it on my watchlist. X)
I would have known without you telling me that what I want is the U.S version. The Brits aren't nearly as good as Hollywood! Then, of course, some british shows have a higher value than their american counterparts, but still, the Brits can't afford the cash to produce a Big Show or a Blockbuster. xD
Yes please put it on your watchlist :) The Show needs some time to develop, but it is getting soooo goood. ;)

I am in the middle of the first season but I gonna say: this show is so good !
Since The Walking Dead is getting more and more boring, Homeland's season is over, and Breaking Bad's final season is starting in July I was looking for a TV Show which is exiting, got a central theme in it. Where you get surprised and the acting is good.
A TV show which is realistic and dangerous.
I found all of it with this show!
Since this TV Show is about the cold war I want to compare it with James Bond, and the second reason is I don't want to put spoilers in it:
I am pretty sure you know the older James Bond movies, where Bond is jumping of a cliff with no parachute, into a plane, gets control over the plane, destroying the enemy's base and got no scratches. Superhero Bond. No problems.
And then you know the newer Bond movies with Daniel Craig. Where Bond has problems. He's a drinker. Getting hurt, Getting scratches, simply more realistic.
If you know what I mean, then you know who the show is like.
Two KGB agents who are in the US for some years. Got two children. Have to live their whole life under disguise, which living a FBI Agent next door.
They like in some way there life as normal people and they do like in some way the people of America. But in their point of view the US government is evil. They what to build a anti-missile defense system (google Star Wars Bush), which would make the nuclear arsenal of Russia worthless. And they have to do something against that.
Lets see how the show develops. 9/10
