Does anyone here watch this?

For me, season 1 was FANTASTIC, and was just as every bit as good as "24", but more adult and more believable.

Season 2 has just started, so if you haven't seen any of "Sleeper Cell", grab season 1 (it's only 10 episodes), and catch up!!

I just saw a torrent of ep 1 of season 2, and I never heard of this, so I went to read a couple reviews, which were all negative :(.  I'll grab the 1st couple eps from season 1 just to check it out though.

O_O

I heard about this series;  Supposedly it's even better than 24 (it probably is. It's on Showtime, Yes? :D lol) - Anyone know how much season 1 is going for?  I might pick it up when I get "She Spies: season 1". XD

I saw the first season, but I disagree that it is better than 24.  Then again, I'm a die-hard 24 fan. :D  How's the second season looking so far?  I wasn't aware there was going to be one.

I wouldn't have said (nor did I) that it was better than 24, but the more I compare them, I gotta say, sleeper cell does tops 24.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge 24 fan and when a season is on, the first thing I do when I get home, is download it and watch while everything else is just on hold. I've also hired all 5 seasons and watched them with my wife, since she prefers to read the Japanese subtitles, but it's just getting too old and making itself unoriginal. Plus, it's far too Hollywood, and even the prequels are simply Toyota commercials with Jack.
I would love to see Jack creeping up on some bad guy, have his cell phone ring, and him go "Oh fuck!", but that's just not going to happen on Fox. Sleeper Cell on the other hand, anything goes and usually does.

As for season 2, started off a little slow, but man, episode 7 ( there's only 8 ) was fucking intense. Loved it.

After watching all 8 episodes I think its 'up there' with 24.

24 has 'the problem' of its concept: all happens in 24 hours, this was a novel thing when they started but keeping it fresh will be the problem for the next season.

Is this the series that got popular because of torrents? I remember seeing it(if I'm not mistaken that is :p) being talked about on Attack Of The Show last year.
