The State Within (BBC America)

Anyone else watch The State Within on BBC America? I've watched two of the three installments, and really enjoy it. I should finish it up this week. It still runs about 2 hours per installment even when skipping commercials, but the show never really drags.

I don't see it on BBC America's upcoming schedule for this week, but it's still fairly well featured on their website so I'd think they will be replaying it soon. I only wish it was in HD.

If you like conspiracy/espionage shows/movies, you should check it out. Sometimes I struggle with accents when watching British shows, but that wasn't much of a problem on this show.

Watched the 1st one over the weekend, will most likely watch the other 2 this weekend.

Good so far. Even if Isaacs keeps reminding me of Luicus Malfoy

This looked rather interesting. I did forget to DVR it, so hopefully it comes back on sometime again.

I wanted to watch it, caught a commercial, but missed the first part. And now no reruns in sight.

Normally I skip the "previously on" stuff, but I found it useful for this show because it gave character names and titles (like 24 does sometimes). It helped clarify for me how some of the characters fit in that I got mixed up while watching the first episode.

I couldn't get into it. I watched the 1st 1 1/2 hours and it felt like 3 hours. And I couldn't imagine watching 5 more hours of it afterwards.
