It depends on what you mean when you say "the Beast". Is he the killer responsible for the bridge deaths, the migrants, Gedman and Stokes? Yes.

With a dash of Jack Black's "Bernie".

He was getting the cocaine off the small mirror by swishing it around in the toilet.

The lead character was a sociopath who had sex with his stepmother (originally meant to be his bio mother until the writers felt that was just too unacceptable) and slept in a refrigerator box - acceptable on cable now but not on network TV 18 years ago.

The Superjail art is incredibly awesome but now the new Oreo ad campaign is aping that style and it makes for weird associations when I see the posters on the street.

That would just be a great series to recap - it's both way ahead of its time with its antihero protagonist and a great time capsule of the mid-90's (VR! Computer security! Shoulder pads for everyone!).

That would be great, but Skarsgard's a little busy on "True Blood".

Extra points for a Cardigan in a turtleneck.

FX's Cold War spy drama "The Americans" opened their pilot episode with a kick-ass stakeout and chase set to "Tusk".

She funded "the traitor Kennedy" (I love that they always use that whole phrase when referring to him) but was led to believe that he would burn down unoccupied docks and that no one would be harmed.

He was the cokehead car dealer in Grosse Pointe Blank with the awful poetry!

Like ICBYDAA Prince Valiant! I caught this movie Saturday morning and it might be the worst thing I've ever seen. Crappy comic book adaptation with Stephen Moyer as the title character and Katherine Heigl with a stilted, Valley Girl-accented delivery as his princess. Perlman plays a bandit and it's clear he realized…

There are some legitimate diplomats but its position as embassy also provides cover for KGB posing as diplomats - kind of like how our spies are usually given legitimate covers as State Dept. employees.

I haven't watched Homeland, but I think the strength each of the others (and this show) have is that they have had a strong sense of self from the jump. Most shows have those four or five episodes at the start where it's clear that the writers are still seeing how things play and how characters react and bounce off of…

I would think that someone trained especially for American infiltration would have met more than 10 black people before he came stateside. There were black people in Russia - especially studying military intelligence and espionage. The Communists were quite active in getting their message out to ALL oppressed around…

As I've posted elsewhere, Soviets - especially in government - weren't unfamiliar with black people. They overtly supported a number of anti-colonial and anti-Western factions in Africa in the post-colonial period when this show is set. The Soviets trained the ANC's military wing in camps in Mozambique and educated…

We want information, Information, INFORMATION!

There were black people in Moscow at that time (admittedly, not many). The USSR was a leader in educating and backing dissident movements around the world, especially Africa where they tended to align themselves with anti-colonial rebel forces in the late 70's and 80's (e.g. Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia). Eastern bloc…
