If the rest of the season is on the same level as the first episode, then the cast will be cleaning up at award shows next year.
Bj's two seconds in?
Ok
Ok
Nah I disagree. The Cold War lasted until '91, the show starts in '81. They could get a good 5-6 seasons out of it at least, not even counting all the crazy shyt that happened back then like the Reagan assassination attempt, the Iran-Contra affair, the crack epidemic which has been tied to the CIA, the bombing of Libya, the threat of nuclear war, etc.

The Coli says it's piff...
Then I must watch.

Just finished watching it. shyt was 
I think we got another one fellas.
I like the little easter eggs for people that grew up in the 80s. Like the Apollo-Soyuz painting in the school auditorium. That was the first U.S.-Soviet joint space flight. Phillip was staring at it during the song because he believes both sides can still be friends. Little stuff like that, some people might miss.
I like how they make both sides think the other is the devil. That's how it was. Russia wasn't evil, neither was the U.S. But when you're a spy, there is no room for compassion or understanding.
Elizabeth is a terrible actress. I don't mean the chick (Keri Russell) playing her. I mean she's supposed to be a spy and she's
in damn near every scene.
Phillip: "You want some ice cream?"
Elizabeth: "No".
You gotta loosen up a bit. I know you hate America but eat some ice cream.
And
at the CIA agent. He 
the fukk outta them spies.
Here's the promo for ep 2/the rest of the season. At the 0:16 second mark peep the umbrella. That's most likely ricin (shout out to "Breaking Bad"). In '78 the KGB used an umbrella with a ricin filled pellet to kill Georgi Markov. He defected to the U.S. because he was criticizing the Bulgarian government. Ricin was used a lot back then due to it being damn near untraceable.

Or, and this lines up with the time line better, it might be the assassination attempt on Boris Korczak. That happened in '81 and also used ricin:
