Everything is better with Matthew Lillard.

Helen’s linguistics skills mesh well with spy craft—–partly because it just makes sense, but also likely because the writers get to write about what they know.

They brought in Matthew Lillard at exactly the right time, because I was planning for this to be the last episode I watched! He was fun; and I think this was the best episode yet because it had a good balance of action and comedy. If they can keep up that same balance, I might keep watching. Problem is, they don't have Matt Lillard here every week. Also not having the kids at all worked well here, so how do they balance that part?

I don't think they're going to go any farther with it, but at least the show/characters acknowledged that they're operating in a 'morally gray' area.

I tried watching this for the first time and all I could think was "That's Beverly D'Angelo?  What did she do to herself?"  Turned it off after ten minutes.

I enjoyed The Wolf character - he was unusual and unpredictable. He and Helen's friendship was nice.

I like this show - it's fun and I can just sit back and enjoy it.

She got older -- that's something women do.  And they can grow older naturally and be shamed for the wrinkles or go artificial and get shamed if anything goes wrong.
