This show isn't as horrible as everyone claims it to be. For anyone who's watched The Americans you'd know that these two shows share absolutely nothing other than the fact that they both contain Russians. It isn't a knockoff of The Americans because they aren't really comparable. As a lover of The Americans I can appreciate the sharp writing and acting in The Americans while still appreciating the fast paced environment of Allegiance. It's most likely just a one season show but it'll definitely be a thrill ride. The pilot episode shows the main characters all involved in doing something while absolutely keeping up the pace, it's definitely soapy, interesting, dramatic, & suspenseful so it has that going for it as well. Allegiance might not be as high quality as The Americans but it knows what it wants to be and how to portray it on screen.
