Quick confusion in grasping the conspiracy web is understandable, but that doesn’t mean this series’ many hours... aren’t sufficiently tense and jarring to warrant your time. But if you’re even a mildly cynical A-section reader and/or devourer of suspense novels, and especially if you’ve enjoyed the many fine British multipart political thrillers that have graced our airwaves, like To Play the King and A Very British Coup and State of Play, then The State Within will seem either too familiar or too diffuse.

One of the best tv series we've seen. We watched it this week when there were terrorist incidents in London & Glasgow.

Joins MI-5 (Snoops) as some of the best espionage drama on the big or small screen. I'd have given it more points, I think, if I'd seen it in1 or 2 episodes without commercials. Terrific!

Got my attention and kept it. Fast pacing never let up, but a few periods of reflection would have been nice. Sometimes implausible, Nice insights into what is likely actually going on. The intensity developed until the very end, like a good page turner. Replay came in handy!
