This could be good: Turner Network Television and BBC have a new mini-series premiering Monday night.
THE GRID involves a terrorist cell operating on a global level and a team of American and British counter-terrorists who are tasked with stopping it. It focuses on the emotional cost of war on victims, as well as the emotional cost on those fighting terrorism. The story opens with a deadly sarin attack in London.
The Houston Chronicle TV critic says it looks good.
The series, which bows at 8 p.m. Monday, has the look and feel of today's reality. Executive producer Tracey Alexander, relying on input from retired Navy captain and Pentagon consultant Larry Seaquist, gives the six-hour The Grid scenarios and locations — Washington, London, Morocco — that reek of authenticity.
And the cast includes Bernard Hill, last seen as King Theoden in The Lord of the Rings. We'll be watching.
