New TV mini-series on terrorism

Last night I watched the first episode of a new TV mini series on TNT called The Grid (that I had recorded previously). It's a show about terrorism and the main characters are from the FBI, CIA, NSC, MI6, etc. and in the show there is a new Al Queda-related cell being developed in Egypt and Nigeria. I was emailing my friend who recently returned from Cairo about the show so I searched on Google and found this glowing article about the series (warning - toward the bottom of the first page they start giving away content of the first episode). It also turns out that it is directed by the guy who did Band of Brothers, which was a very impressive mini-series on HBO (available on video now). I have no idea if The Grid is at all politically or culturally realistic, but I found the first episode to be really compelling and I am looking forward to the next episode, airing tomorrow.
