Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

xhidden99 Takes shaky cam to a whole new level. It induces motion sickness. The average shot is one second or less. Combined with extreme closeups, bizarre color schemes (blue on blue on blue) or sepia or pastel washout for no reason it's nearly un-view-able. The upside is that this gives the writers an opportunity to slack off and dash together a script that's as scattered and incoherent as the visuals. You rarely have a scene that's connected with any other scene and the notion of a plot is pretty much tossed out. But so what?It's a BBC production so the basic premise is that the US is a giant sewer of ultra right wing psychopathic anti Muslim bigots and the only the sane people in the world are of course, the Brits and their gently nuanced love of all Muslims. If it turns out the Brits really are behind it, well then it's for our own good. Oh and throw in Florida's death row conviction of a Brit who's, you guessed it, completely innocent. I wonder if they pull an MI-5 and just blame everything on The Jews.

bsholley Gosh, I need more episodes. Did this really end this way? Is there going to be more? Please! I am still not sure who to trust. Thank heavens for Jane. I suppose the Ambassador (who is rather free to roam around and participate fully in life as a spy/ agent) will eventually get to Tampa and they will determine their future. The acting was terrific, some of the graphic details I thought were unnecessary, but added humanity to the account. I could have done without the execution itself. I am so proud of Jane for being sufficiently suspicious that she made copies. Go Jane.How complicit is the Secretary of Defense? She does seem to have issues. Is Gordon a fall guy or the true initiator? Who was the Middle Easterner on the plane? There seem to be so many points not resolved.

wasislos A superb piece of action, thriller and romance combination. I would like to see something as stunning as this series more often. Why does everyone state that this is a six episode series? There are seven..... The IMDb policies for submitting reviews are strangely rigid and complex. I feel like I am trying to access a top secret, highly restricted database with special access only to the most determined and ruggedest comment posters. There are so many cautions and warnings to cease and desist that I almost did not want to write anything. I am struggling as of right now to complete my ten lines of comments just to be able to jump the hurdle. I am getting the impression that this comment process is very selective and highly sensitive. I think I made it......

bob the moo Seconds after taking off from Washington, flight 113 to London explodes over the city, causing loss of life in the sky and on the ground. Outgoing UK ambassador to Washington Mark Brydon is on the ground when it happens and witnesses first hand the tragic events. US Secretary of Defence Lynne Warner is giving a speech at a business event and is rushed away when she learns of the "attack". A former UK ambassador to Turkistan criticises the US and UK for ignoring human rights violations there. A military training exercise in Virginia sees a solider dead, stripped of ID and dumped in a river. A British prisoner on death row sees the hours ticking away on his appeal. The news that flight 113 was bombed by a British Muslim sees the Governor of Virginia rounding up British Muslims in his state. Meanwhile in Washington, Brydon's attempts to minimise the political fallout sees him drawn into a bigger conspiracy than he could have imagined as connections between the bomber and US interests in Turkistan come to the fore.The first episode opens quickly, matching the dizzy speed that the camera moves around, with a bomb bringing down a passenger plane. This opening looks to grab you and hold you because the writers know that they all viewers are going to be thrown into the middle of a lot of detail and be asked to keep up with it even though the connections will not start coming together for an episode or two (baring in mind this only was six episodes long). Obviously I didn't know this at the start and I confess I did find the first two episodes to be demanding of attention without giving a lot back. However sticking with it does see all the pieces fall into place in a rather convoluted but engaging web of twists and developments. The conspiracy is sadly believable and the series builds a plot that 24 would be proud of – albeit with a bit less action.The delivery is solid and enjoyable with an intelligently building narrative that does reward paying attention. Aside from the early plane crash grabbing attention, there isn't 24 levels of action and some viewers may find it quite talky but the series doesn't seem concerned with this – to its credit. The whole production looks professional and expensive but at times the shaky camera-work is a distraction – in moderation it isn't a problem but some episodes felt like it had been filmed during an earthquake! The narrative does have one glaring problem within it and that is the issue of political bias. If you are right-wing and believe that the Iraq war was right and that it was all about WMD (or regime change or whatever the official reason is as you read this) then you will probably hate this series because the whole plot is essentially a very unsubtle parallel with Iraq (in regards US going to war obviously – the whole "fabricating the war thing is total fiction!). As a bit of a liberal, this element didn't bother me that much but at times it was all a bit obvious and unimaginative in regards the underlying ideas.The cast is a strange mix but mostly pretty good despite some of them betraying the limited budget of the piece. Isaacs runs the show and he delivers a solid leading man who holds the attention well. Below him the biggest name is Sharon Gless; she is OK but somehow she doesn't convince in her role. Ben Daniels is as good as Isaacs in his rather shadowy role. O'Reilly is very so-so while James and Pearson were surprise finds in supporting roles. The rest all do well enough in their various characters as this isn't a story that asks a lot of depth from the supporting actors so much as it asks for solid turns.Overall then a pretty enjoyable and engaging conspiracy thriller. The cast are mostly good and work well with a script that rewards paying attention with a satisfying story. The basic idea is a bit obvious and will annoy hawks with its obvious political bias but mostly it should be good enough to please casual viewers as long as you don't expect it to be action packed and contain all the gloss and budget of 24 (for example).
