It’s Good to be Home Again. Advance Review of Season Two Premiere: The Americans – “Comrades”

This is definitely on my must-see TV list this season, and should be on yours.

Whatever your faith or belief, Questioning Darwin, a vivid and intriguing 60 minute documentary, chronicles how Charles Darwin, a once devout Christian who wanted to be a clergyman, found his faith challenged when he traveled the world in 1831.
