Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Some things I liked some I did not.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

"the grid" is a well written, tightly directed thriller/miniseries.i was hooked from the beginning of the first episode right to the end of the last episode.it was well paced, moving along quickly when it had to, and also slowing down when necessary for dramatic purposes, such as showing the home life of some of the characters,not just their work lives.this really put a human touch to the show and made you feel for the characters and root for them.it also showed them as infallible human beings,lending an air of authenticity to the show.there also dramatic scenes of tenderness between characters, which were well shot,and well acted.as a result rather than drag the film down, these scenes made it all the more riveting.all the actors were great, but i have to single out julianna margulies as the standout.i thought she was brilliant in this mini series showing great range.based on this performance, i would say she is one of the most underrated actors around.anyway,if you get a chance, watch this miniseries.you won't regret it.

This is a pretty good series, and as a South Asian American (with Muslim heritage) I was intrigued by it. The best acting is done by the Brits and the Raza Michaels character. And to the viewer who said it shows only Muslim terrorists- that is not true. Akil (the young scared Brit) does not practice Islam- his brother Hamid does. Kaz (the American blonde) turns to Islam because he has a bad relationship with his dad. These (youngish) guys have seen the "bad" side of life (jail/racism/poverty, or whatnot). So they look for a solution. Maybe they get into religion. Maybe violence. Or both. There are no easy solutions and all people are not black/white in their ways- and this show opens up about that.

We set aside a quiet time to watch the tape of the first show, and just completed the second episode. The photography is wonderful. Most of the actors/characters are multi-dimensional and the story line is quite balanced in developing them. The pace of the show keeps you interested and engaged. I am disappointed, however, that we have yet one more show where 'terrorist' really only means Muslim, or at best, Arab. Last time I looked, there were terrorists from all countries, races, religions and genders. Oh well, another reason to read a good book, listen to music or take a walk on the beach. (The sunsets here are incredible!)

This show I didn't really like. The show doesn't create much stereotypes, well kind of...mostly on the characters. This to me, is just a typical action TV show. Dylan Mcdermott, whatever is name is...he's a bad actor in this show. Not only that but this show has horrible dialogue. I mean, when I heard him talking about his thoughts about 9/11 and how he hated the Muslims that day, it was so stupid. It was such a ridiculous speech and Dylan did a bad job of acting out the emotions. Not only that but I think this show creates a bad message to Muslims and about terrorism. First off, I think we as America are making a big deal about terrorism, I know it's because of 9/11. And that was horrible day for me too...but we don't deal with it everyday or every year. We should be glad that we don't live in Israel or any other world countries that have to deal with terrorism almost everyday. War on terror will always be fought and never be won, the only way to stop it is to prevent it. We've been dealing with terror all our lives, because it's hatred. We've dealt with it since the KKK, even though, Mr. Bush doesn't think the KKK is a terrorist group, he is sadly mistaken. The other thing is also that we need to stop saying that it's the muslims and that terrorism only happens in the middle-east. There's terrorism in Sri Lanka, Brazil, Japan, there's the IRA, the GIT, they're everywhere. We're lucky that we don't deal with that much. The best way of dealing with terrorism is to not be afraid, otherwise they win. And the other thing we need to do is to secure our country in order to prevent attacks and take action upon it. I hope later on this show, they'll show other terrorist groups and create a better message about it. But...the show sucks anyways, because of it's predicable and awful dialogue, lack of emotional impact, and it's poor acting. This show I wouldn't recommend.
