Good observations..but I suspect it has more to do with dramatic license..

The show's quite good..I especially enjoy hearing the Soviets spout all the criticisms of Reagan (i.e. "he's a lunatic")that the MSM and the American left have been using for years..

The twist seems to be that it's the female who is the more ideologically committed/fanatical..the husband seems to have been somewhat "sensitized/softened" by the time they've already spent in the USA.

I like it. Sure, it is a little soapy, but isn't Sons of Anarchy a little too soapy a portrayal of outlaw bikers? Anyways, I am really enjoying Matthew Rhys' performance of the deeply conflicted Phillip Jennings the most of all. His acting job in this role is the main reason to watch the show. Since I like it, the show will probably be canceled.
