The high stakes of international terrorism and the challenges of keeping it in check set the stage for this power action drama miniseries. Maren Jackson (Julianna Margulies) is an National Security Council director who is attempting to fend off possible actions by a terrorist cell following a poison gas attack in London. Jackson enlists the aid of Max Canary (Dylan McDermott) of the FBI and Raza Michaels (Piter Marek) from the CIA in the United States, while CIA counter-terrorism expert Acton Sandman (Tom Skerritt) coordinates operations with British intelligence chiefs Emily Tuthill (Jemma Redgrave) and Derek Jennings (Bernard Hill). Leading the terrorists are Muslim extremist Muhammad (Alki David) and his second-in-command, Kaz Moore (Barna Moricz), though one of their associates is a doctor (Silas Carson) whose passion for the cause is tempered by his distaste for Muhammad's eagerness to use violence to achieve their ends. The Grid also features supporting performances from Robert Forster, James Remar, and Paula Devicq. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This limited run series is actually very well written and acted. It definitely reminds me of the show 24. The difference is that with this series is that you are required to pay closer attention to the characters. There are agents from MI5 and MI6, along with our own CTU and the FBI. The payoff for giving your full attention to the many characters is that you are drawn into a richly woven tale of terrorism and the fight to stop it. My suggestion is to rent both discs at the same time. By the end of Disc 1 you are not going to want to wait for Disc 2--the suspense will be too much. There were solid acting performances and good direction. I would highly recommend this to any fan of 24 or anyone who enjoys a good thriller.

Six episodes of continuous drama on two dvd's. Be prepared to keep track of numerous intelligence agencies, terrorist cells, characters, set changes & beautiful women. The production & acting were so professional, that this mini series earned my highest rating. I also appreciated all the commentaries, deleted scenes & specials.
