5 Great TV Shows On DVD To Get You Hooked: #5

Looking for something great to get into while the writers’ strike is going on and all your TV is off the air? Below is one of five shows that you can get into in the meantime.

Sleeper Cell

Sleeper Cell Season OneThis violent yet somehow realistic Showtime drama series began as a ten-part miniseries but scored a surprising renewal for a second season. Michael Ealy stars as a Muslim FBI agent assigned to infiltrate a terrorist cell. Each of its members are portrayed by equally talented actors who really delve into their roles. An even better surprise, the second season is even better than the first. This show was aired over the time span of a week on consecutive nights. It was made to be watched in marathon form.

When you should be hooked: Don’t stop after the first episode. The show gets a lot better and definitely improves over the first installment.
How long you should keep watching: Definitely finish the first season, but be wary of starting the second season if you cannot stand cliffhangers. Notice: the show should have been renewed for a third season and I think the writers probably thought it would be.
How you can get access to the show: Both seasons are available on DVD.
Other shows you might like: 24

Sleeper Cell Season Two
