As far as I know, it was just a miniseries and there are no plans for a second season. I did really enjoy the show, though. It was the type of show that started a little slow but really picked up steam.

I just discovered Sleeper Cell On Demand and have been really enjoying the show. I'm caught up through episode nine, so I can't wait to see the finale on Tuesday... it should be excellent.

One thing I didn't like unresolved was.....

Spoiler:
The girlfriend getting drunk and screwed in the car but never being confronted, etc. Seemed like they shouldn't even put it in if they weren't going to do anything with it.

I enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully they will change their minds and do a second series but I doubt it.

I liked it a lot as well

Slightly sappy ending IIRC, but excellent overall.

Just watched the DVD this week. Pretty good - decent degree of believability (particularly compared to shows like 24 and Prison Break) although I had a little bit of hard time believing Fareq would be so accepting of Darwin, who didn't always seem to fit in.

I think this works better as a one-shot miniseries, but I guess it got decent enough results for SHO to greenlight a 2nd season. Not really sure where they can take it - either Ilija becoming part of a new cell with a new UC agent or with Darwin going UC in another cell (like the DC one that evaded the feds).
