Description:
Can you believe what your superiors tell you -- even if you are the British Ambassador to America? In this high octane, action-packed conspiracy thriller, a terrifying plot is played out along the dark corridors of power. When a flight explodes in mid-air over Washington D.C., the British Embassy finds itself enveloped in a diplomatic catastrophe. What happens next is a cat's cradle of tangled affinities and conflicting interests told through interlinking stories that unfold as British Ambassador Mark Brydon slowly realizes that he is being played by an invisible puppeteer with great power.

Leave it to British TV to deliver the slickest, most intense take on terrorism on U.S. soil (with apologies to 24, of course). The State Within is a BBC production of the highest order, tense, dense, and absolutely riveting. The miniseries starts with a bang--actually, a horribly realistic explosion of a U.S. airliner bound for London, and the production values are every bit as detailed and impressive as any big-screen action film. Chunks of plane and passengers fall along the freeway outside Dulles airport in Washington, creating havoc and collateral damage in a truly visceral fashion. And then the real action begins. Our hero is Sir Mark Brydon, British ambassador to Washington, played with sangfroid by Jason Isaacs (slightly reminiscent of Daniel Craig as James Bond). Sir Mark has not only an international crisis on his hands, but quickly learns treachery, deceit, and murder lurk within the governments he's learned to trust. The plot is complex but extremely satisfying, far superior than most mass-market thrillers released in theaters in the U.S. Especially delicious is a small but key role as the U.S. Secretary of Defense by Cagney & Lacey's Sharon Gless, whose eyes glitter like shards of ice. Savor The State Within, but be prepared to be rattled the next time you go to the airport--or try to go to sleep. --A.T. Hurley

political mini series I have ever watched. Excellent acting, great back drops and doesn't go down the usual "USA are always the good guys" route
Rating: -
Absolutely not for the faint of heart; should be avoided by persons fond of sugercoating. Very rewarding at all levels: script, acting, twists and turns that keep you guessing, with an uncomfortably true understanding of the present world scenario.
Does not shy away from the sexually explicit, yet manages to avoid vulgarity, a rare feat indeed.
Situations already seen before (perhaps) but that occurs to you only about two weeks later.

This was not necessarily bad, just nothing special. I love BBC series/mini series so I was very excited about this, but did not even bother to watch the second disc. I agree with another reviewer that the first 10-15 minutes are filmed in a very jerky style, almost unwatchable, but luckily that does not last long. I think it was just to add to the chaos of what is being portrayed. Also, found the story lines are kind of all over the place. If you are looking for a good mini series, try "State ... Read More

This was A great mini-series! I ablsolutely LOVE BBC productions and they didn't let me down with this one. Very well written and acted. You go along for the ride as you watch Sir Mark try to figure out who the bad guys are. I don't usually write in on these things but I felt this DVD deserves it. It does NOT disappoint!
