Allegiance Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Allegiance Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


Allegiance Premiered on NBC on February 05, 2015



This high-octane thriller revolves around the O'Connor family and their son, Alex (Gavin Stenhouse), a young idealistic CIA analyst specializing in Russian affairs. Unbeknownst to him, both of his parents and his sister are part of a dormant Russian sleeper cell that has just been reactivated.

Years ago, Russian-born Katya (Hope Davis) was tasked by the KGB to recruit American businessman Mark O'Connor (Scott Cohen) as a spy, and the two fell in love. A deal was struck: as long as Katya remained an asset for Russia, she would be allowed to marry Mark and move to America. After years in America building a happy life and without word from Moscow, they thought they had escaped. Now it seems the new Mother Russia has one more mission - turning Alex into a spy. The SVR (Russian Intelligence) has re-enlisted the entire family into service as they plan a terrorist operation inside U.S. borders that will bring America to its knees. For these anguished parents, the choice is clear: betray their country... or risk their family.

The series also stars Margarita Levieva (Natalie O'Connor), Morgan Spector (Victor Dobrynin), Kenneth Choi (Sam Luttrell) and Alex Peters (Sarah O'Connor).

Based on an Israeli format, "Allegiance" is a production of Universal Television, Keshet Media and Yes! and comes from Executive Producer, Showrunner and Producing Director George Nolfi ("The Adjustment Bureau") and Executive Producers Avi Nir, John Glenn, Rashad Raisani, Ron Leshem, Amit Cohen, Giyora Yahalom and Yona Wisenthal.

1x01 Pilot

Alex having no idea his parents used to be Russian spies reminds me of The Americans and the fact his case could uncover their identity did make the urgency more understandable

This has now been added to the VIP site

1x02 Teamwork

Alex's face when his mother lied about having an affair was priceless but at leased it was believable and that was a good call on the cab driver but shame he got away and his mother saving his life without him knowing was great

His family are going to have their hand full trying to keep him safe from the Russian's and God help them if he finds the bug on his shirt

1x03 Surreptitious Entry

Victor ordering the O'Connors to break in and steal the laptop at 6am before Alex and the FBI get their hands on it was risky but that was a close call and It was only a matter of time before Katya discovered Natalie was seeing him

He also took his shirt off before putting on the grey boiler-suite

1x04 Chasing Ghosts

Talk about a close call getting out of the building and they should of know a laptop like that would have self destruct if it got in the wrong hands but I think they did the right thing in telling Alex the truth as he was so close in finding out himself

The timing of Alex being confronted with the reality of his family's past couldn't of been worse as s his integrity is questioned at work along with them trying to find the mole but nice work in destroying the hard drive

I'm surprised they trusted him enough to break into the offices with just Natalie as he had almost taken them all out last time but Victor killing his was a tragic as he did come through for them and manipulating the task force to send Alex to Italy was impressive

It's a shame VIP have stopped updating this since it was cancelled

1x07 Stranger in a Strange Land

Alex having a better view than Michelle was amusing as he was checking out her ass while she was looking out the window but you just knew they would end up in bed together and dropping the blue pill was tragic as it cost his helpers life

Michelle needing to define their relationship to Alex was amusing but the fact she told Sam was nice as it took the suspicion of his strange behaviour away from him and was it Alex's telling her the truth got her shot

Considering Alex is such a genius he can be such an idiot going in to Michelle's apartment after being told he's being framed for her attack and nice work in cleaning up before the FBI turned up but shame about the smell of bleach
