They must *really* be padding things to make it an ten-parter.
I mean, Stephen King's The Stand was done in FOUR!
Does this sound very likely to anyone?
Very interesting episode but not enough to get me to fork over my hard-earned money to Showtime and their left-leaning programming.
Watched five minutes- too much cussing, turned it to Rodeo finals.
Four hours for The Stand....I could swear it was 6 or 8. Are you sure?

Free Showtime weekend, I watched some guy eat McDonalds three times a day for a month as a scientific study.
He was perfectly healthy at the start, but gained over 20 lbs and was a mess at the end.
Yeccch.
Documentary called SUPERSIZE ME...I think it won an Academy award, or something. He has his own cable show on FX now.
I watched a show called Masters of Horror. They were right but it was more like Masters of leftist propaganda. Basically the show was about soldiers killed in Iraq returning from the dead to vote Bush out of office and give longwinded zombie speeches about the evil republicans. They had Anne Coulter beating Karl Rove with a whip in one sex scene between the two. And the undead Soldiers decided to kill all republicans when the Evil republicans decided to cheat at the ballot boxes. Yeah I will never have Showtime after that nonsense.

Thanks "Non" for an intelligent reply. At least you actually saw the episode before replying. How different than many posts!
I agree with you. I will not be adding Showtime to my subscription either.
Anyway most of these shows end up at Blockbuster, where you can rent them. That is, if you really want to see the particular program.
The scary part was the Bosnian and the Frenchman as well as the blond American clean cut type.
Interesting that the Bosnian ended up hating America because we did not intervene, while the usual complaint is that America does intervene where Muslims don't want us. I guess any port in a storm for America-haters.
I wanna see where this series goes.
SD
I'll take your word for it.
If this show turns out to be politically incorrect, though, and actually blames Muslims for being terrorists, rather than inventing some other excuse to exonerate Muhammed of all responsibility, I'll eat my hat.
I can think of all sorts of possibilities: 1) These are not REAL Muslims, and will be repudiated by their Imam; 2) They are not really motivated by their religion, but by poverty, deprivation, and American discrimination; 3) One or more of them is certifiably and inexplicably insane, and has dragged the others off course.
It would simply not be possible on TV to blame the Qran and the teachings of Islam for their behavior.
Eight hours, I guess.
But they did have an 850-page book to work with instead of a thinner-than-average paperback.
Yes and no. It portrays the terrorists as somewhat sympathetic in the beginning but then something happens (I don't want to give it away) that destroys any sympathy anyone might have had.
This series looks good to me. I plan to watch it all.
I've been following Ethan and Cyrus for a while. I've know Ethan since we were Boy Scouts (quite a while ago).
So far so good. Looking forward to future shows.
