KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

nzpedals There is a terrorist and others intent on destroying the "vulgar" western world. Totally committed, ruthless, anyone who gets in the way gets killed. But on the other side is the various government agencies intent on catching the terrorists, and these ones will actually try to work together instead of their usual practices of keeping everything to themselves and not cooperating.The title could be considered in two ways, 1. is the idea of horizontal and vertical lines that mesh and intersect and interweave - all that happens. 2. Then there is the idea of something like a power supply grid with lines reaching out everywhere - that happens too as the terrorists will go anywhere in the world to achieve their aims, and all the spooks will also go after them.Great acting, writing, production and direction. And something perhaps to be scared of?

pfarnell Id call this show more a case of (UK) "Spooks" meets '24" or "the Agency/threat Matrix" meets "24" , I cant see any "Alias" in it......Some assesses that Kaz gets into terrorism because of a "poor relationship with his dad"...give me a break with the Political Correctness sleight of hand, , please.He gets into terrorism because of his Chechen Muslim background and perception of grievance against "his people" by non-Muslim nations including America. In other words, the most common usual reason that Muslims like Kaz attack their own country and countrymen in contemporary religious terrorist acts.Its an entertaining show with the middle-east locations, possibly a little far-fetched larger than life, in parts such as the grenade in the elevator incident...Id probably watch almost anything where I could look at Juliana Margulies eyebrows.

George Parker "The Grid" (we never really know to what the title refers) is a 6x45 min miniseries action/drama about international terrorism. The bad guys are a rogue terror cell operating out of Yemen, deploying operatives to the UK and the US where they are to attack with sarin nerve gas. The good guys are a joint task force of Brits and US Federal agents who are out to stop the bad guys. The film leapfrogs incessantly from Yemen to London to Washington to Saudi Arabia to Chicago, etc. globe trotting in a surprisingly well orchestrated conglomeration of good vs evil Muslims, interagency wrangling, boyish suicide bombers, covert ops, murder, love, and much more given this US/UK co-op's budgetary constraints. On the upside, "The Grid" gets busy and stays busy sufficient to engross and make some of the obvious histrionics easily overlooked as it provides an acceptable overview of the amorphous nature of terrorist cells and the international agency cooperation required to effectively cope with this 21 century threat. On the downside the film is difficult to follow at times, somewhat disjointed in an effort to be all things to all people, pushes the believability envelope occasionally, and is generally too pat to be real. Overall, "The Grid" is an acceptable miniseries worth a look for those who can commit to a 4.5 hour small screen watch. Those who enjoy this miniseries should also check out "Traffic (2004)". (B-)

sylvfilm This show I didn't really like. The show doesn't create much stereotypes, well kind of...mostly on the characters. This to me, is just a typical action TV show. Dylan Mcdermott, whatever is name is...he's a bad actor in this show. Not only that but this show has horrible dialogue. I mean, when I heard him talking about his thoughts about 9/11 and how he hated the Muslims that day, it was so stupid. It was such a ridiculous speech and Dylan did a bad job of acting out the emotions. Not only that but I think this show creates a bad message to Muslims and about terrorism. First off, I think we as America are making a big deal about terrorism, I know it's because of 9/11. And that was horrible day for me too...but we don't deal with it everyday or every year. We should be glad that we don't live in Israel or any other world countries that have to deal with terrorism almost everyday. War on terror will always be fought and never be won, the only way to stop it is to prevent it. We've been dealing with terror all our lives, because it's hatred. We've dealt with it since the KKK, even though, Mr. Bush doesn't think the KKK is a terrorist group, he is sadly mistaken. The other thing is also that we need to stop saying that it's the muslims and that terrorism only happens in the middle-east. There's terrorism in Sri Lanka, Brazil, Japan, there's the IRA, the GIT, they're everywhere. We're lucky that we don't deal with that much. The best way of dealing with terrorism is to not be afraid, otherwise they win. And the other thing we need to do is to secure our country in order to prevent attacks and take action upon it. I hope later on this show, they'll show other terrorist groups and create a better message about it. But...the show sucks anyways, because of it's predicable and awful dialogue, lack of emotional impact, and it's poor acting. This show I wouldn't recommend.
