The Battlestar Galactica and Outlander producer thought the FX series would be a tongue-in-cheek "Aren't the Eighties funny?"-type drama. That changed when he started watching "I was really impressed," he says. "The fact that that show is as grounded as it is – it's much more le Carré than it is Bond. I couldn't believe that they let these people kill people all the time. And innocent people and good people – or people you like. And that their belief – especially Keri Russell's character, her belief is so strong – in what they're doing, and they really do think that they're fighting the good fight. And I love that, it's an incredibly subversive show."
