Rob Owen

Season 2 Review: Another edge-of-your-seat thriller. Read full review

Barry Garron

Season 1 Review: This is a first-rate series that explores the hearts and minds of terrorists even as it presents scene after scene of suspense and action. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Season 2 Review: If you can make the time in a season where most programmers think we're all too busy shopping to be watching anything heavier than "Miracle on 34th Street" (the Natalie Wood version, of course), then "Sleeper Cell" delivers. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

Season 1 Review: "Sleeper Cell" is better than "24." Read full review

Verne Gay

Tom Shales
