Rated - 4 starsRelaxed version of 24

A customer from Manchester, UK , 30/01/2007

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!!

Rated - 5 starsSuperb!

Martin from Reading, England , 13/08/2007

One of the best conspiracy thrillers of all time. An intelligent and absorbing series. Makes 24 look like a sub-standard adventure yarn.

Rated - 5 starsAbsorbing

A customer from Pembrokeshire , 17/02/2008

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.

Rated - 4 starsBetter as it went along

Boopy from Reading , 14/10/2008

It took me a long time to get into this story though it had been recommended to me, so I persisted. I did 'enjoy' it (if you can say that about something that is at times quite gruesome and disturbing) as it does well at drawing you in to certain characters. Sharon Gless is excellent but too predictable as the American Secretary of Defence but the other characters are, on the whole, a lot more interesting. Probably better watched all together if possible, but I had big gaps between each episode which didn't help. If you like 24, Spooks and that sort of thing, you'll probably like this
