be warned of possible spoilersa friend told me to check out this series and and i am glad i took her words for it. i read the synopsis on the dvd cover and i was immediately intrigued. the main protagonist is muslim. no way and this is a first. it about an fbi agent who is under deep cover to penetrate a possible sleeper cell in la while and get this  he is a practicing muslim. i was a little skeptical at first and half expecting some hero or the antagonist to spout maybe silly and gratuitous and mindless holier than thou fanatic drivels. let face it and a lot of shows have been guilty of this. but then i watched the first three episodes and and i thought represent okay and this is good. it wasn not until episode four (scholar) when i was well and truly impressed. i would like to commend on the great writing and also and superb performances from the actors. i just love how complex every one of these characters  theyre not straight out two dimensional cardboard cutout good guys or bad guys. michael ealy gives a wonderful and believable performance as the muslim fbi agent darwyn al sayeed and treading the fine line between being the good muslim and being a man with flaws. oded fehr gives his character farik an interesting depth  farik is not the typical oily middle eastern stereotype and but simply someone who truly believes in his cause and doesn not see himself as a fanatic but a man willing to do whatever extreme measures to justify his beliefs. he very charismatic and authoritative. but i would say that it was alex nesic performance that clearly left an impression in me in scholar. his portrayal of his character emotional struggle was amazing  torn between the softly spoken words of a muslim scholar encouraging him to return to the non aggressive way because it is the only acceptable way in god eye and farik persuasion to believe otherwise. i am looking forward to watch more shows like this and and not some ridiculously high octane one man show series. it clever and open minded.
