So we all know now that the CIA screwed up royally. We knew all of the 9/11 characters way before that infamous date. Because two American agencies couldn't act like adults a team of terrorist losers were running around the USA doing whatever they wanted. This is now a historical fact.
I love how they give the moronic coverage of the Monica Lewinsky "scandal" as holding precedence over these matters vital to national security. Republicans investigated Clinton for eight solid years. Imagine if they had put even a fraction of that effort into fighting terrorism.
I don't love how they accentuate the sex side of the story, even when it really isn't part of the story. Does anyone really want to see a very old Jeff Daniels as a gigolo? We get it, the guy was a complete sociopath when it came to women, but we don't need or want to know it.
The actor playing Richard Clark is a dead ringer. I'm glad they painted him to be the hero he was.
Tahar Rahim was a brilliant choice to play Ali Soufan, a guy whose career I have followed since reading a great article in the New Yorker about him and the U.S.S. Cole bombing (Query: The Agent New Yorker).
Every single actor, at every step in the narrative is excellent, and more importantly, believable.
Very accurate portrayal of life in Yemen and the investigation of the Cole bombing.
The final interrogation with Ai Soufan and the former bodyguard for UBL was masterful and a perfect way to end the series.
