I'm not sure the general public has much interest in the Cold War right now. Or at least that's what I was told several years ago when I pitched a feature based on this idea about a male Soviet spy and female N.

At first they don't get along, but they grow to love each other and when the Americans close in at the end, he sacrifices himself to save...

It was nice to see Matthew Rhys kissing a woman instead of a guy for a change like on Brothers and Sisters (not that there's anything wrong with that, there isn't) and to get to do that with Keri Russell? Lucky somanabitch! But yeah... definitely tuning in every week (unless a Kings game is on, then I just DVR).
