It is definitely not the best show ever made but I do not agree with the comment before mine. It is indeed one of these action series but it is very well directed, you are tensed during the whole episode and it is not at all propaganda for the government. You might think so because they work for homeland security, because they use the Patriot act all the time, using methods close to torture sometimes but there is always one of the character who asks the good question at the right time. The complexity of the war against terror is well rendered. Americans as shown in this series are far from being always the good guys. Anyway, as i said, not the best show on earth but nice to watch if you don't have anything else. And I really think that there are several degrees into it and it is propaganda only if you don't dig a little.

I think that before anyone starts rubbishing this series as being over the top, nationalistic rubbish they might want to think about one thing. What if what we see in these episodes, or similar is actually happening each day in the USA? I mean if it is, and the US Gov certainly ain't going to be announcing it on TV if it is, then I think it paints a whole new picture on this series! Whilst some of the episodes may be a little near the edge, I think many of them show us a world that we don't want to face. A world were individuals rights are infringed, liberties taken away at a whim, and people falsely accused of things they never did. All this because a few guys flew some planes into a building ( a fact that is actually mentioned in one Ep.) I think this is a great idea and I only hope it can take off again some day.

I admit I haven't managed to sit through the pilot in its entirety. But my taste and decency wouldn't allow me to make that mistake. Every cliché in the book is trotted out for this sorry excuse of a drama. Playing "call to prayer" sounding music whilst showing clips of suspected terrorists. Hardly anyone in this so-called "elite squad" is anything other than nice middle class and white. From what I saw, it even made Independence Day look like it possessed a modicum of savvy.My boyfriend at least seemed to enjoy watching it, so he could mock it in the extreme. What worries me more is that there are people out there, believing the extremely prejudiced ideas spouted by such ridiculous programming. Oh well, there's no accounting for taste. Or intelligence for that matter.

This show is great! I'm so happy to see Jamie (James) Denton on such a great show. The pilot was hilarious, and if it's a glimpse into the future, I'm ready and willing to be a fan. Already the cast is working together - with a comraderie that it takes seasons to perfect, and they all have such charisma as to make the show completely enjoyable. A 10 in my opinion!
