theamericansThe two central elements of the show are the relationship between Philip and Elizabeth and their work. They are also parents, however.
So here's this week's question: How do you feel about the way the show treats these elements of their lives? Which elements of it work for you, and which don't? You can expect spoilers for the entire first season in the comments.
(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

My feeling is that he does things for her only when he wants something from her (or when he's pulling his misguided chivalry/overprotective schtick), and that they're not always the things she would want him to do anyway.
