    Yeah, I liked it. It wasn't quite 24, and I guess I couldn't help but compare it (whenever they said the words 'counterterrorism it felt like they were infringing on 24's copyright or something!) but yeah, it was good.

    Nurse Hathaway has aged a bit.

    Plot was alright, but I felt the acting was quite weak and the characters quite flat and unengaging (yeah, I know it was only 90 minutes so far...). My primary problem was the dialogue - it felt quite clichéd, stiltled, and uninspired. There's enough happening for me to continue watching though.

    Oh and what's with the BBC crammng it so quickly down our throats? The US has it in six episodes spread over six weeks. We get it condensed into three episodes spread over three nights...

    Yeah, I don't get why they're shoving it all into the one week on BBC.. even spread over 3 Tuesdays would have sufficied.

    Re: acting, I thought Julianna Margulies was fine, as was the actor playing the Muslim working for the CIA (can't think of his name).. but Dylan McDermott was a little odd.. I didn't like the way he over did the pain in his voice every time he mentioned 9/11.

    But it was pretty good the way they managed to be so topical with all the references to no WMDs, 9/11 etc.
