"Is Sleeper Cell really like 24?"

I've been hearing about this show on Showtime and have heard comparisons with 24 (maybe because of terrorism). I see ads for it all the time after Dexter and then I saw this contest for it on Ziddio's site.

LAST EDITED ON 01-28-07 AT 00:38 AM (EST)I could only tolerate watching a few episodes. It's actually much darker (if you can believe that) than 24. Mostly dealing with muslin extreme/terrorism and what the producer believes sleeper cells to be within the United States.
With 24, we get to see the good guys win quite frequently.
With Sleeper Cell, you have to wait through quite a few episodes before seeing even a hint of the good guy's efforts make a difference, it definitely puts the viewer in "a unique state of transition."

Sleeper Cell is much more in-depth and realistic, IMO. I really love it. 24 is fast-food, Sleeper Cell lite, although I do enjoy it as well.
Tribe rocked my sig!
