Lower body count and less intense than 24. Easy to watch and I liked the Brit/US mix.
It's far from a 24 rip off but it is a similar formula. You are drawn to the main characters and their issues balancing their official and personal roles/lives.
I guess there will be a another 'season' or two and I'll be watching it. I'm sure there are lots of story lines possible without getting quite as outragous as 24 has - mind you I'll be watching that too!!
Watched the first episode, and was hooked. Just like one of those books you cant put down Acting, script and plot were all totally absorbing. Taut slik and pacey production that demands youre attention, but is not difficult to follow. Would recommend to anybody who enjoys political thrillers with a dose of conspiracy thrown in for good measure.
