Product: State Of Play (2008)
Rating: 5.0
WARNING: VIEW WITH CAUTION!
When I watched "State of Play", I made a BIG mistake: I put it in my DVD player at 10:00pm, saying I would watch only one of its six episodes. Famous last words. When the sun rose the following morning, I was still watching, thoroughly enthralled. This is TV at its best, and Kevin Macdonald has a high bar to reach in his forthcoming film version, although he certainly has the skill to bring it off. But...don't wait for the film. See this splendid BBC mini-series today. You won't be sorry.
