be warn of possible spoilersa friend tell me to check out this series and and i be glad i take her word for it . i read the synopsis on the dvd cover and i be immediately intrigue . the main protagonist be muslim . no way and this be a first . it about an fbi agent who be under deep cover to penetrate a possible sleeper cell in la while and get this he be a practice muslim . i be a little skeptical at first and half expect some hero or the antagonist to spout maybe silly and gratuitous and mindless holy than thou fanatic drivel . let face it and a lot of show have be guilty of this . but then i watch the first three episode and and i think represent okay and this be good . it wasn not until episode four ( scholar ) when i be well and truly impressed . i would like to commend on the great writing and also and superb performance from the actor . i just love how complex every one of these character theyre not straight out two dimensional cardboard cutout good guy or bad guy . michael ealy give a wonderful and believable performance a the muslim fbi agent darwyn al sayeed and tread the fine line between be the good muslim and be a man with flaw . oded fehr give his character farik an interesting depth farik be not the typical oily middle eastern stereotype and but simply someone who truly believe in his cause and doesn not see himself a a fanatic but a man willing to do whatever extreme measure to justify his belief . he very charismatic and authoritative . but i would say that it be alex nesic performance that clearly leave an impression in me in scholar . his portrayal of his character emotional struggle be amaze torn between the softly spoken word of a muslim scholar encourage him to return to the non aggressive way because it be the only acceptable way in god eye and farik persuasion to believe otherwise . i be look forward to watch more show like this and and not some ridiculously high octane one man show series . it clever and open mind .
