Philip and Elizabeth Jennings are some truly badass TV parents. If anyone were to break in to your suburban home in the middle of the night, you'd want them there. We're supposed to believe that Philip and Elizabeth are highly trained KGB agents. Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell do a tremendous job at making this believable. The first episode introduces us to Philip's combat skills, and all of his fight scenes since have been jaw-dropping. And Elizabeth? The scene where she beats Claudia to a pulp after staging an abduction makes a point. She is not one to mess with.
