While I do tend to gravitate towards docu-series, I did not think I'd like this show nearly as much as I did. I'm completely hooked. I found the last two episodes (unfortunately there are only six!) particularly interesting. As a native New Yorker who was frankly uninterested in ever seeing another "special" about 9/11, terrorism, and the like ever again, these episodes were completely different from the usual song and dance on the topic. The interviews with the FBI agents who had been hunting the terrorists for a decade before 9/11 even occurred were as fascinating to me as they were genuine. While the role of the CIA in such activities is well-known, the role of the FBI— especially in international affairs—is often glossed over (I, for one, was completely ignorant of their involvement at all). If you're looking for some mindless late night TV, this probably isn't it, but they do a good job providing background info and making it "accessible" to the average viewer.

Truly hoping for another season!!!
