Has anyone seen this tv series? It aired on Showtime. So far they've only done one season. I bought it, wasn't too expensive. I'm blown away by it. Such a good show, especially with the current issues going on around the world.
The synopsis on the show is about a Muslim FBI agent that infiltrates a terrorist cell IN America. The show revolves around them preparing for "youmud din"(Judgement Day). The show isn't all Arabs either. One is a Frenchman, another is a Bosnian, and another is a white American. The lead terrorist is Arab though. This show, while some may not like, is at least entertaining.
Anyone else seen it?

No it doesn't. Its a shame too. The show has so much potential. I'm still watching it and haven't seen the end yet. There are so many twists. The first episode REALLY drags you in.

Wow, I can't believe that absolutely no one has seen this show. Its probably because it was on Showtime....

I've heard of it and do plan to watch it soon. Founder, do you think it's the type of show that deserves more than one season?

^It's going to get a second season, or it would have been called Mini Series 
Yes, Andy, that is why not many have heard of it most likely, as it was on show time

Not necessarily. Some shows, which aren't mini-series, don't get a second season.

Yes definitly. This is really a good show. Unfortunetly, it has been dragged down by political debate. Liberals don't like it because they think it is made to bring back support for the war in Iraq, while Conservatives don't like it because it humanizes the terrorists in a way. Unfortunetly, that is happening with all forms of media I've noticed....
But I do think that another season is needed. Too much was left hanging on the end of season I. They are making a season II and three principal actors from season I will be returning. I won't say any names because that will ruin the end of season I.
But Superman and Lord Borg? Trust me. You will think the show is enjoyable. Even if you are part of one side of the political spectrum, push it all aside and at least enjoy the story.

I'm actually apolitical - I don't label myself at all because life isn't black and white, so I should be able to approach the show differently. I look forward to watching it (I believe it'll be shown over here soon, if not already).

Are you in a foreign country?(if you dont mind me asking) Because I'm not sure if it is still on in America. At least, television, unless Showtime has reruns? I'm not sure. I simply bought mine at Wal-Mart. Pretty cheap too.

Yes, I'm in England. I had seen some ads for it, but I'm not sure if it's started yet. If I miss it, they'll repeat it soon enough, I'm sure.
