Allegiance

I agree with a previous comment about the "Mom".... really don't like her AT ALL. It has real potential! So very many shows I like are being zapped, and for what??!?! Reality TV?? Singing, dancing, survivor type crap I can't believe any of my fellow Americans actually WATCH that stuff. Meanwhile, anything interesting, exciting, or "God forbid" challenging gets zapped.

I really hope the below is true!! "I believe this show does it as well as most others but I love the twist with the parents being Russian spies. Yes I know it has been done, The Americans. Before everyone jumps on me I am not saying they are in the same caliber as The Americans, but I think there will be room for this one as well.

"Intelligence Agency TV shows are quickly replacing those gawd awful reality shows and really aren't we all glad for that." !! YES WE ARE!!

If you haven't seen Allegiance, you should. I love a good spy thriller and this one fits the bill.

It has a great cast and an intricate storyline. It's well paced and has some interesting plot twists. I suspect not all is as it seems and there will be more surprises along the way.

The pilot did a great job of introducing the characters and their relationships to one another. All the actors played their parts well and were believable, particularly Scott Cohen, Hope Davis, and Gavin Stenhouse.

Eagerly looking forward to see how the story unfolds.

I waited eagerly for each weeks episode and i could not believe it when i was told that the series was cut.. why oh why was this great series cut when lesser series made the cut?

I loved every single one of the cast.. there are very few shows that i have loved all of the main cast and this was one of them.. the story was lovely.. the cast was lovely.. the chemistry was lovely and the acting was good.. hey NBC some winners start out slow thats no reason to cut them.. did you not see the overall rating of the show? bring it back.. Cast of Allegiance you were great individually and as a whole and i love you guys ;_)

Our family very much enjoyed this show and in my opinion the subtle differences from other shows. We hope that somehow another channel buys it and airs another season- thought the characters were interesting and plot was exciting- we felt the show could have grown. Too many reality and shows the same- at least this network show was a little different than the rest. Junk TV sells I guess but we enjoyed this show..We are not sure of how all the details of ratings go from live watches, to recorded or DVR but it's unfortunate to start something and then leave it hanging. It seems there are so many spots that might be available to run episodes to at least finish the show by either a second season or a small two to three part mini ending would be a neat idea. I feel leaving audiences with cancelled and unfinished shows turns them away. Our family wasn't able with the schedules to watch live, but very much enjoyed the week or two of watching a show each night-

Initially I was very excited about this series because I love the spy genre. This series however is a loser. Writing is very bad. It often doesn't make logical sense or is sometimes just absurd. Some compare this to The Americans because it is also about Russian spies in the US. Allegiance is not in the same class as The Americans. Some of the actors, like Gavin Stenhouse are not ready for prime time, but even the better actors here are made to look bad by the bad writing. The central character Alex played by Gavin Stenhouse is a socially awkward naïve genius CIA analyst who doesn't come off at all as believable and is painful to watch. In a recent episode a romantic relation began with Alex and an attractive colleague. There is zero chemistry between the two. One minute Alex is so naïve and awkward that everyone would bet he's a virgin. The next minute he's James Bond going down on the girl. The whole production is amateurish.
