Philip certainly isn’t happy, but Elizabeth may see it as another sign Paige is picking up on the spy game. Meanwhile, the FBI caught up with William Crandall, who immediately infected himself with the deadly virus he was carrying and wasted away in FBI custody (Dylan Baker, we hardly knew ye!). And there are big changes afoot at the Rezidentura, with Arkady Ivanovich Zotov being forced to step down.

Based on a 2010 Australian movie, the now-SoCal-set TNT drama is well-acted, and the pilot (June 14, 9/8c), sharply directed by co-executive producer John Wells (The West Wing). But the moment it introduces the Codys — a family of outlaws headed by Ellen Barkin as a toughie nicknamed (no kidding) Smurf — they work overtime to make it clear that they’re not just badass, they’re bad, period. Middle son Craig (Ben Robson) and kid brother Deran (Jake Weary, A Deadly Adoption) are a–holes on the highway. They’re a–holes in the ocean. »
