Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

nzpedals There is a terrorist and others intent on destroying the "vulgar" western world. Totally committed, ruthless, anyone who gets in the way gets killed. But on the other side is the various government agencies intent on catching the terrorists, and these ones will actually try to work together instead of their usual practices of keeping everything to themselves and not cooperating.The title could be considered in two ways, 1. is the idea of horizontal and vertical lines that mesh and intersect and interweave - all that happens. 2. Then there is the idea of something like a power supply grid with lines reaching out everywhere - that happens too as the terrorists will go anywhere in the world to achieve their aims, and all the spooks will also go after them.Great acting, writing, production and direction. And something perhaps to be scared of?

disdressed12 "the grid" is a well written, tightly directed thriller/miniseries.i was hooked from the beginning of the first episode right to the end of the last episode.it was well paced, moving along quickly when it had to, and also slowing down when necessary for dramatic purposes, such as showing the home life of some of the characters,not just their work lives.this really put a human touch to the show and made you feel for the characters and root for them.it also showed them as infallible human beings,lending an air of authenticity to the show.there also dramatic scenes of tenderness between characters, which were well shot,and well acted.as a result rather than drag the film down, these scenes made it all the more riveting.all the actors were great, but i have to single out julianna margulies as the standout.i thought she was brilliant in this mini series showing great range.based on this performance, i would say she is one of the most underrated actors around.anyway,if you get a chance, watch this miniseries.you won't regret it.

Fred M. Hung The script, locations, story, and timeliness (New York City is now yet again on high alert from terrorist threats) are perfect. The cast is competent as well. There are even certain subplots that are great (the sister of the ex-Mujahadeen doctor exhorting her brother AGAINST the taking of a life).Yet when all the elements are placed together, the series falls flat. The execution is horrible. Timing and editing is choppy but the worst is the uninspired musical score.The Grid is worth watching because the plot is so intelligently complex, but be mindful of the glaring flaws. Where Threat Matrix succeeded, the Grid fails. The former was able to take complex stories and condense them into 1 hour vignettes. The latter has a great story, but it just drags.

e_clagerlof We set aside a quiet time to watch the tape of the first show, and just completed the second episode. The photography is wonderful. Most of the actors/characters are multi-dimensional and the story line is quite balanced in developing them. The pace of the show keeps you interested and engaged. I am disappointed, however, that we have yet one more show where 'terrorist' really only means Muslim, or at best, Arab. Last time I looked, there were terrorists from all countries, races, religions and genders. Oh well, another reason to read a good book, listen to music or take a walk on the beach. (The sunsets here are incredible!)
