I really really wanted to like this show, as the subject is very interesting to me.
However, the first major problem I noticed was the awful editing. There are so many jump cuts and unnecessary special effect, that it made me uncomfortable keeping my eyes on the screen. It's as if the editor is using the show off all the digital effects he or she can do, rather than focusing on making the show enjoyable. I dealt with this by looking away from the screen every once in awhile, and focusing on the audio.
The second, and almost deal breaker issue, is the structure of the story. The majority of almost every episode is spent talking about the context and potential implications of various successful attacks. They go overboard with context, to the point that they almost forget to talk about the actual close call incident. In the case of the Israeli Honey Pot episode, it's so bad that I can't even recall them ever talking about a failed plot. This might not be so bad if the context was at least explained in a coherent organized way. However, it's not. They try to cram too much in, and the sequencing of each piece of information often doesn't follow from the last. So someone that knows nothing about the context is likely to end up very confused.
The only real reason I'm not giving this lower than 5 stars, is because of my intense interest in the subject. To make the show tolerable, I recommend using the fast forward button liberally, especially in the first quarter of each episode. There are brief sections in some episodes that actually spend a little time talking about the failed attempt in a somewhat coherent way.

Watching the 3rd ep. Finding it quite interesting so far, but what's up with the non-stop stupid flashing and broken images???? At first I couldn't believe a documentary like this could have such bad editing I suspected my TV was at fault.
Damn I want to continue watching but I can physically tell it wouldn't be good for my eyes to do so.
The docu-series visually restages actual terrorism plots, based on evidence provided by in-charge law enforcement agents. All cases featured by this docu-series are not well known and something new to me because they were aborted right before execution.
However, it walks me through each plot too quickly. It tells only HOW they successfully aborted, but no observation WHY terrorists attempted in the first place.
On top of that, the narration style reminds me of CNN reports. And interviews basically are one side story. It's like police PR videos designed for a new officers recruitment purpose. I do not say it's propaganda, but simply lack of enthusiasm and neutral analysis. I sometimes fell asleep while watching it.

Except for the insufferable narrator. I've watched the first episode, and am 3 minutes into the second, and have heard him mispronounce three words already. Dude, you're the narrator. Learn the words that are on your script. He pronounced a Terrorists name Zarein (Zah-reen) as Zair-ee-en. I mean dude, the FBI agents are saying it throughout the episode, how could you mess that up? He pronounce triacetone as "Try-Sara-tone". And so far, 3 minutes in, he's pronounced "nuclear" as "nucular".
I had to knock 3 stars off just for that. ( and one for the dumb CSI type graphics) Other than that, it's been interesting how these plots get foiled.
But seriously, bro. A narrator of a show's first priority should be to make sure you can read.

So far after the first plot was stopped I really have to wonder if this was done by a third grader.
We all know NY is a target because of the number of people that live there.
How did 3 people that went over seas to Afghan not show on the FBI and other law enforcement data base as a person of interest?
How did this person all of a sudden get a OH SH....... when he was already on his way to NY?
This seems to be more of a impatient criminal than good police work.
Hope the others are better than this, and that the officers dont need the pat on the back.
NY and the people that work there need another dose of reality. You are not that great anymore. Well never really were to be honest.
Rep Peter King shows just what the elites know, like normal 3 steps behind what the officers and the informed public know. If some Congress people did not get a briefing from the alphabets Congress would not even know anything.

Lo sapevi?
- QuizEpisode 1, The NY City Subway Plot, at 4:05 the narrator brings up the July 7, 2005 London Underground terror attack. The footage of the bombs exploding on commuters is actually the Madrid 2004 train bombing! The London 2005 explosions were NOT caught on camera!
