Aroview: Solid and swiftly moving mini-series in which members of multiple security and intelligence agencies (CIA, FBI, M16, M15, NSC...) attempt to unravel a complicated tangle of global terrorist operations in the wake of a botched, but deadly 'sarin' gas attack in a London hotel.

Created partly in the image of shows such as 24 and SPOOKS, this achieves some originality in its depiction of inter-departmental squabbling and a well-judged depiction of the mirror-image Muslim terrorist networks. 6 episodes over two discs.
