We were taught that the Cold War ended in the early 90s, but Red Sparrow teaches us that the spying, the criminality, and the drama are still going strong. Had I read the book before watching the show, I may have opined a bit differently. I have an inkling that my obsession with The Americans and learning more about the Cold War may have influenced my opinion of Red Sparrow. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: Our personal lives and where we are on any given day affect our experiences with books. Therefore, Dana recommended I read Red Sparrow, which also focuses on Russian spies. Seriously, our society teaches us only to fear and despise Russian with little context I want to know why. It even sparked some Russian fascination in us both. I told BLL fave, Dana, to watch it, and she and her husband agreed that the show kicks total ass. It has history, psychology, action, sociology, politics, family, fear, love, and so. There are no hard feelings the genre and themes just never did much for me. Now, I’ve never been a huge spy fan when it comes to books, movies, or TV. The show follows Cold War Russian spies living as normal U.S. (I can confirm: The warning was warranted.) I started watching the show over a year ago after some friends recommended it - though it came with a warning that it can get pretty gruesome.
When I tell you to stop reading my blog to go do something, you know it must be a pretty big deal. If you’ve never watched The Americans, I suggest you drop everything and go watch the first few episodes ASAP.
