ebubekirdogan02 This tv show is really telling us about American bureaucracy. Did lesson has been learned, I don't think so...! Jeff Daniels did great job again, thanks to him...!
Ghada M. Kamal Last episode was great . I just wanted to comment on agent Ali Sofan's conversation or interrogation for Al-Qaeda member in the last episode after Sept. 11th attacks took place . Jihadist are not that naive nor that easy to persuade that they are mistakenly understanding Qur'an & Hadeeth even when debating with another Muslim . They are extremely stubborn & they never admit guilt or fault .. They always insist that their understanding for the holy book is the right one & that any other Muslim with any other explanation is faithless .. I don't see this in the scene although it was very well acted/performed .Also as an Arab I'd like to say that in general (in the whole series) they had to work more on Arabic script & not just settle for translating what they wrote in English cause it sounds kind of shallow most of the time
jshoaf The last episode, which begins when the first plane hits (not a spoiler), brought me up against my own memories of 9/11. My son was in the city, and on that day I worried about him and listened to him on the phone. Aside from that, I was numb. It seemed utterly incomprehensible that this should have happened. Who? Why? How? Equally incomprehensible was the speed with which these questions were in fact answered, for reasons the Hulu series makes clear: the answers were already at the fingertips of various players who didn't know what to do with them (though the finale implies that various parties were prepared to exploit the bombing instantly). The series begins at the (or a) beginning, including the Kenyan embassy bombing, the USS Cole bombing, and interactions among the players on both sides. The questions have been answered, the lines drawn in such a way as to meet at this point, with the bombings. As I watched the last episode, I was able to feel for the people I love who were breathing that dust that day. I could finally weep for them, as well as for John O'Neill and Ali Soufan, whom I had not known about until now.
