    I am surprised no one has reviewed this yet. If you are into smartly written British crime/conspiracy thrillers then this is highly recommended. It was written by the writer of "Hit and Miss". Watch this show!!

    State of Play is one of the best dramas about a newspaper since "All the President's Men." [16 Apr 2004, p.131]

    State of Play is one of those series where a moment's brilliance is rivaled by the very next scene, a careening thriller that gives credence to the idea that there may not be any better format for telling an impact story than over the course of four or six hours. [16 Apr 2004, p.E1]

    On "State of Play" and Prime Suspect, ordinary men and women take center stage and hold it beautifully. [16 Apr 2004, p.E1]
