disdressed12 "the grid" is a well written, tightly directed thriller/miniseries.i was hooked from the beginning of the first episode right to the end of the last episode.it was well paced, moving along quickly when it had to, and also slowing down when necessary for dramatic purposes, such as showing the home life of some of the characters,not just their work lives.this really put a human touch to the show and made you feel for the characters and root for them.it also showed them as infallible human beings,lending an air of authenticity to the show.there also dramatic scenes of tenderness between characters, which were well shot,and well acted.as a result rather than drag the film down, these scenes made it all the more riveting.all the actors were great, but i have to single out julianna margulies as the standout.i thought she was brilliant in this mini series showing great range.based on this performance, i would say she is one of the most underrated actors around.anyway,if you get a chance, watch this miniseries.you won't regret it.

spaha424a the grid is fabulous -- beautifully written: Raza to Emily "Sex like love is an act of devotion," beautifully acted -- wonderful television. Go TNT! By the way, I believe that Raza Michael's name is Piter Marek. The casting is diverse as are the locations. The Grid could have very easily been a theatrical movie, albeit, it would have had to be shorten. But that is why television is great, especially when it is allowed to be great. TNT but together an intelligent piece of entertainment. The characters are very well drawn out. We are already seeing the many different shades of people that live in this vast world of ours. The Grid lets us see that not everyone of a particular culture or ethnicity is bad. And please Raza Michaels is Piter Marek.

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.

Justin I have just seen the first episode of the series, and it was compelling and well made.It reminded me of watching 24, without the high speed tension, and localized setting. This is a global 24 that isn't really hour by hour. But it works well, very well. In fact as you're watching you can sit there and see it working very well. It doesn't just involve the Americans doing everything, which is a nice change. I guess I should organize this a bit better and go into detail about a few of the things I like.First, I think recent events of the 9/11 commission and their ideas of making a centralized system, as seen in the show. It shows how the CIA and other agencies seem to dislike each other and in fact seems that it is quite like real life. These with recent events make it feel as if you could be watching the news of what could really be happening.Second, it's nice to be in London, seeing MI5 and MI6, doing their own work, and the relationship between those to agencies, as well as US intelligence.Third, the acting is quite good for a made for TV movie, and the development of each was well done. It is quite bloody, and has a nice amount of explosions. The camera work is nice and works well. Fourth, and lastly, the story itself seems to be very well crafted. It fits in so well to today's society that it is quite capable of being a news broadcast rather then fiction. In the end it is an all around well crafted TV "limited" series, and I will be back next Monday to watch it again! 9/10
