dvd of the week
Last year’s best new drama, about two deep cover KGB spies living near Washington, D.C. in the early 1980s, returns for its second season at the end of February. The first season is now on DVD and you have two weeks to binge watch these 13 episodes. Keri Russell’s Elizabeth is as hard, ruthless and controlled as she was soft and neurotic in Felicity. Matthew Rhys, who played the snarky gay brother in Brother & Sisters, is nearly as good as a spy doubting his mission. The plots are intense but they’re also fun, making the show much more enjoyable than the similarly themed Homeland.
