Never watched 24, but I did watch Homeland. When he described it, it sounded reminiscent of Homeland, but maybe a bit more tense.

A coworker just told me about Fauda and was raving about it. I had never heard of it before. Any good?

You really disagree that there is a "big difference" between a limited invasion to annex a single region of Ukraine vs. a fullscale invasion of the entire country, with military occupation, bombings of major urban centers, going on a yearlong now?
