Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
The State’s bigger flaw, however, is that it doesn’t clearly explain the motivations of each main character’s life-changing decision to join Islamic State. The series implies their need for direction, self-worth or belonging, but it’s not enough to justify such a drastic decision. ... The depiction of life inside of Islamic State, however, is believable--horrifyingly so.

Season 1 Review:
Unfortunately, The State is also four hours of turgid and predictable drama, with respectable performances from the cast of relative unknowns barely covering for the thinnest of characterizations and the flimsiest of narratives. I'll wholly grant that the program is frequently interesting and informative, but it's nearly as often laughably clunky.
