Really? I realise I am ten years behind the rest of the world and as are, one would hope, the critics who matter - but what is the attraction with this? I am almost through season two and I am already skipping through scenes like I would through the pages of any of this decade's John Grisham novels.

I am a fan of this "genre", let's call it (for argument's sake), but was put off by its inadvertent airing timing and the occasional, if fleeting, controversy surrounding the portrayal of Muslims. I don't know if using "TV" and "intellectual" in the same sentence is synonymous, but I like mine to be just that. To provoke thought and not be a one-sided agenda charade.

I gave in due to a. needing to form my own opinion on this show and b. boredom.

I am not entirely sure what pro-Muslim groups were more offended by. The terrible, repetitive plot or the way they were portrayed. Did anyone ask? This may be construed as a "spoiler" - but I did not pre-warn since if this spoils it for you, then that's many hours of your life you'll never need to claim back - but here is the programme's plot as I see it: - general and all too brief preamble surrounding the involved agency and the main characters - threat occurs - general 'mistrust in all colleagues' protocol ensues - one of main character's kin is kidnapped (usually the girl who for CRYING OUT LOUD could do more than just run about with bouncing tits, no?) - president steps in - president is manipulated by his administration/ex-wife/car dealership - more threats - more bouncing tits by agent's (or agents') kin in their continuing escape from everyone they encounter - clearly America is the general asylum of psychopaths - more distrust - close shave for varying agents - death for not so fortunate agents - more tit bouncing - more distrust - discreet romance among the agent ranks - deep disdain for the agency's management occurs - management is usurped - president is unhappy - crisis averted - oh but wait, there's more - lost the will to live.

If that's a "spoiler" - then you're welcome!

NB: My bad, I forgot a bit. Somewhere in that plot can you please add:
