BBC's The State Within drama began airing in America this week to reviews saying it "makes Watergate look like a parking ticket," and calling it an "intense, dense and sometimes offensive political conspiracy thriller."
Every reviewer compares it to 24 - and favourably. The Boston Globe says: "The State Within is a little different from 24 in that, well, it tries to make sense." Referring to the show's three-part, seven-and-a-half-hour running time, the Los Angeles Daily News described it as: "Like 24, but more 7 1/2 - and more British" before adding "essentially, you're hooked eight minutes in."
"It has enough dynamic plot acrobatics to fill an entire season of 24 but in a quarter of the time, and you won't spend nearly as much time wondering, 'Wait, but what about..?'".
