I never thought about "hype" as something intentionally created. More in the lines as everybody is going with the flow because nobody wants to look odd. But that is not important.
My fear is originating in experience that what is critically acclaimed does not usually work for me. That is all. And as it takes not very much for me to stop watching some TV show I just do not want it happening to The Americans as I quite like it.
But if general population of press critics like it I have no problem with it. I just hope that people would not think of it as bigger than life and be then disappointed what the show cannot reach this unreachable quality. It would be sad to see it gone just because of it.
So this is the point for me, do not overdo it. But I do not know maybe expectations have nothing to do with renewal.
