Showtime Networks excellent television series Sleeper Cell with its disturbingly attractive Muslim terrorists returns tonight with a second season of eight new 1-hour shows
to be broadcast in eight consecutive nights in a "television event."
I watched most of the first season of the show and
was generally impressed, especially with Michael Ealy,
who plays the 30-year old African American undercover
FBI agent Darwyn Al-Sayeed who actually is a practicing Muslim.
The contradictions and complexities in the role
are handled well by this actor, who I had not really
noticed before (Barbershop, 2 Fast 2 Furious), but
will certainly pay more attention to in the future!
I'll try and have a review of the show later in the week.
