Last episode was great . I just wanted to comment on agent Ali Sofan's conversation or interrogation for Al-Qaeda member in the last episode after Sept. 11th attacks took place .
Jihadist are not that naive nor that easy to persuade that they are mistakenly understanding Qur'an & Hadeeth even when debating with another Muslim . They are extremely stubborn & they never admit guilt or fault .. They always insist that their understanding for the holy book is the right one & that any other Muslim with any other explanation is faithless .. I don't see this in the scene although it was very well acted/performed .Also as an Arab I'd like to say that in general (in the whole series) they had to work more on Arabic script & not just settle for translating what they wrote in English cause it sounds kind of shallow most of the time

A gripping, thought provoking series that kept me glued from the first to the last episode.

The Looming Towers is a decent drama depicting events which led up to 9/11. We think we know. We guess. But this seems to fill in some blanks pretty well. I know the whole show isn't 100% accurate and the story is part fiction, but the gist is there and it's told really well. The gist is that the FBI and the CIA were in a p****ng contest over power and neither would share information with each other. Had they shared info, maybe 9/11 could have been avoided. The story gets a little drug out with the personal side of the two main characters. It kind of distracts the focus of the story. Nobody really cares that one guy had extramarital affairs or that the other has a girlfriend. It leant nothing to the story -- and even kind of cheapens it. Those parts could've been left out to tighten the show a bit.Overall -- It delivers a good story, was well acted and is worth seeing. Kudos to HULU for original, interesting content.

Great show. Brilliant acting and a real understanding of the issues behind the intelligence failure of 9/11. Very well made show and highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.
