A real spy story, well told. Probably the biggest intelligence breach in US history. Acting is superb.

This six part series is one of the best post-9/11 terrorism stories I’ve seen. Manages to include some subtle issues and humanize all sides.
Update 2012: On re-watching this series I’m still impressed, however, the motivations of the head terrorist now seem very vague and diffuse.

Apparently based on a true story, it would be hard to make-up all the twists and turns and interconnections. This is a near perfect thriller!
