The Grid is a three-part BBC mini-series that plays on our post 9-11 fears. As gritty and realistic as HBO’s Dirty War, The Grid outpaces and out classes HBO’s TV Movie by taking the threat world wide and involving a combined British and American team.

Where as it is your typical Muslims-are-the-bad-guys plot, as everything is these days, The Grid takes a more balanced approach and shows normal, everyday Muslims as being a valid part of modern society.

The story takes the action across the globe, as the good guys are taken on a wild goose chase, and the terrorists seem to have the upper hand.

ER’s Julianna Margulies fits in perfectly to her new counter terrorism role, and is aptly supported by Dylan McDermott. But what makes The Grid really stand out from the usual crop of US crime dramas is the inclusion of the British side, and approach.

The BBC has crated a winning formula with a human drama that has a fast paced plot, plenty of twists and turns, and some great on screen chemistry.

Food for thought
Hatred left unchecked will grow into rage and devour you.
