Broadcast on TNT in July 2004, The Grid is an ambitious, often-gripping miniseries depicting the battle against terrorism in a post-9/11 world. When a terrorist cell's sarin attack in London backfires, an unusual and sometimes-uneasy partnership is formed to anticipate and prevent the next strike. The team consists of counterterrorism analysts and agents from the National Security Council (Julianna Margulies), the FBI (Dylan McDermott), the CIA (Peter Marek), and Britain's MI-5 (Bernard Hill) and MI-6 (Jemma Redgrave). Gradually unfolding over six parts and four and a half hours, the BBC-Fox TV coproduction travels across North America, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa following not only the professional and personal lives of the 'good guys,' but also the terrorists' stories. Comparisons will inevitably be drawn between The Grid and 24 (especially considering the latter's terrorism story lines in seasons 2 and 3). The Grid can't compete in terms of sheer thrills, but it's a well-shot, well-cast ensemble drama with an exciting conclusion that takes place simultaneously on three continents.
The two-DVD set is supplemented by a commentary track by director Mikael Solomon and executive producer Tracey Alexander on two episodes, commentary by Margulies on specific scenes from two episodes, commentary by McDermott on specific scenes from two episodes, 13 deleted scenes, and three featurettes. --David Horiuchi

(This review contains some spoilers.)
This is a human story that (as the cliché goes) goes beyond the headlines. The story is about a multi-layered, multi-continental terrorist plot to disrupt oil supplies and kill civilians using weapons-grade biological weapons and about the American and British agents who team up to stop it. But there is more to it than that.
The story is almost a documentary--not of events but of the characters' lives. It shows the consequences their ... Read More
Rating: - Wow! All Americans should see this one!!!1
The Grid is very well done with an excellent cast covering a timely subject that unfortunately too many Americans have their heads in the sand about! They should see it and wake up!
A complementing DVD would be "Dirty War" a Brit film about terrorism in England by BBC/HBO. Dirty War is more gritty and really a stomach churner for anyone who sees it. Highly recommended to see! Do not miss it!

Rating: - Minnie Series
A good example of why I like to watch or buy T.V. shows , movies .miniseries. They contain a minimal amount of swearing and sex. And are just as entertaining as the so called "art forms" of modern moviedom. This comes to the point ,entertains, is never dull, a good job all around .Has a good apect ratio for a widescreen T.V.. Good photography.
