State of Play

From reading Andrew Sullivan, yesterday I watched a BBC series from 2003: State of Play. I watched the first three episodes (there are six total) and so far it's really great. A thriller about a British Minister and his journalist friend and the initial sex scandal that mushrooms into a case of high-level government corruption. It has great acting, a tight script, and an intense, yet naturalistic tone. Plus it's got Bill Nighy, who makes anything better. It's for anyone who is interested in politics and media.
