I've been looking forward to this
new Showtime drama Sleeper Cell since I first heard about it, and now David Bianculli has written a loveletter of a review.
The show premieres Sunday and will air each night at 10 from Sunday through Wednesday, this week and next week. The following Sunday will be the 2 hour finale.
Showtime is doing a preview on Comcast this week, so you HBO loyalists can catch the beginning of the show and then ask your Showtime friends to tape the rest.
Oh, you probably want to know the premise, right? It's terrorist!Wiseguy, more or less, and it stars
Oded Fehr and
Michael Ealy. Recommended for fans of Wiseguy, HLoTS, The Wire, NYPD Blue, and high intensity, androcentric dramas with people lying about who they are and what they want while feeling deeply passionate.
