The Looming Tower BBC2

Post by Stalbansclaret » Sun Apr 28, 2019 11:52 am

Watched ep 1 on the iPlayer last night and strongly recommend to all those on here who like a quality TV drama. It’s a 10-parter about the build up to 9/11 and the failure of the US Security institutions to ultimately prevent the attack happening. Jeff Daniels , whom I always enjoy watching, is great as the FBI chief at odds with his CIA opposite number. Really good and can’t wait to watch future episodes.
