Trivia
Episode 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!

Police PR videos telling HOW but not WHY

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.
