I loved almost everything about this series, and it's hard for me to be impressed by tv shows. Usually I'm put off by one of four factors: dialogue, unconvincing character actions, bad sound direction, or boring plot. This excels in every category, and in fact I want to commend the sound direction for being one of the best I've seen in a series ever. At one point there is a phone ringing on screen, but in a location the viewer cannot see, and I was actually looking around my house in the direction the phone was ringing in the series wondering why someone had their phone turned up so loud.
I was only bored once, which is a feat since I have ADHD and get bored and distracted very easily. It isn't even a fault of the show, I just get very bored when war talk comes on, which the show delves a little bit into.
I was not familiar with the anthrax scare beyond that I knew there was one, since I was in the third grade when all of this happened. It was incredibly informative, and I occasionally found myself wanting to look everything up to see how it would end. I'm glad I didn't, do yourself a favor and don't look up any information about this series of events as they happened in real life if you didn't already know. The twist at the end is a gorgeous quilt of tragedy and finality. I actually felt bad for the 'villain' of our story.
In short, if you don't already know what happened, do yourself a favor and do some research after you've already seen the show. Tony Goldwyn and Daniel Dae Kim give some of the best performances I've seen in a while. A stunner of a series.
