I kind of expected a propaganda piece - either pro or anti America - but Baghdad Central isn't like that at all. This is a really thought-provoking series with great characters and great performances. There are plenty of good guys and bad guys but there are mainly people either just trying to survive or just doing their job as best they can in a bad and unfamiliar situation. The lead character is exceptionally well drawn and beautifully played by Waleed Zuaiter - great actor. Maybe I like this so much because I came in with fairly low expectations, but I don't think so. I think this is genuinely one of the best pieces of TV produced this year.
