They must be the least curious, most oblivious teen/pre-teen ever known to man. In their not-so-short lives they have apparently *never* poked into boxes in the garage, called their parents at the wrong moment and then gotten hysterical when they couldn't get through, or gotten sick just when their parents were leaving the house. They've never found weird wigs and make-up in their parents' bedroom or realized their parents had a loveless marriage for many years. I know teens seem self-absorbed, but they're not *that* disconnected from the emotions and power struggles they live with.<br /><br />Plus, as Agatha Christie often wrote, it seems impossible to me that in all their forays around DC posing as other people they're never recognized as *themselves* (I mean, the American couple they're posing as) or as any of their other identities. Granted, this is a problem for any show that has people going around in disguises - they want the disguise to be credible but not so good that the audience can't recognize the character. But sheesh! We had Martin Landau and his rubber faces 50 years ago and we managed!<br /><br />wgWendy M.

I guess it's a bit much that they happen to move into the same street as an FBI agent whose job is finding Russian spies, but as you say, it's such a fun show. Season 1 delivered a lot more entertainment than Season 3 of Homeland did. And Keri Russell is a babe!Hamidnoreply@blogger.com
