There are a lot of reasons that people might hate the show, actually. Katia named a few above. And as we know from the podcast we talked about in my journal, some people just can't get past the "they're Russian spies who do bad things" part.

The "hate" half of the one couple I personally know is of the "it's not escapist fantasy" sort--he tried the show for me but personally doesn't particularly enjoy shows that take place in our world. The hater half of the other couple (you and I have talked about this one) got as far as "COMINT" and quit watching because she loathed Philip so much. It's a hard show to sell to people on any generic level because there are so many different things that can push different kinds of people's buttons.
