(tv Series) Sleeper Cell.

Sleeper Cell, is a 10 part series by Showtime, starring Oded Fehr and Michael Ealy.

It is about a group of terrorists brought together by their faith (Muslim) where even when faced with death, they are faithful to their religion to the end.

What sets this series apart from all the other similar type movies and series is the fact that it isn't based on arabic Muslims on a cause, but instead, starts off with a Jew who isn't comfortable as himself, and leads a double life as a games coach for the Synagogue, whilst at the same time planning terrorist plots as a Muslim.

The other Muslims in the series, are not Arabic either, but instead are made up of French, Serbian, black American and white American.

Michael Ealy plays the part of terrorist whilst really he is there as an undercover FBI agent trying to infiltrate the 'sleeper cell'.Whilst Oded Fehr played the part of the Jewish 'pillar of the community/Muslim terrorist'

I think the first series was released in the States in December 2005, whilst it has only just been released here in the UK in August.

There is going to be a second series released in the US, this coming October, we'll probably get to see it the middle of next year.

If you get the chance to see this series, I would recommend it, as it was cleverly and tactfully done with the help and guidance off the police and Muslim community, to make sure that it didn't offend anybody's belief, and really was a gripping series.

Cell Sleeper Series tv

I have just started watching this series. Its not playing live in the US anymore, but its on Video on Demand for my cable service. I have only watched the first three episodes so far, but I think its put together very well. Its also very scary. The members of the sleeper cell that we have been introduced so far are not crazy people (in the sense of the word) but average normal people. They have children and coach sports, yet they still plan on killing themselves for a cause they believe in. In fact, this series has shown the ease at which one can be willing to die for a cause. This answers an age old question of religious apologetics, "who would die for a lie?" and the answer is invaritably, lots of people.
