State of Play

No one is online for me to squee to, so I'm afraid LJ gets it.

How had I never even heard of this show until I saw it in JB-HiFi yesterday? First ep and I'm riveted. It's like all these little threads of seemingly unrelated mystery coming together into some big old conspiracy. Hopefully it'll keep up the pace.

Also John Simm is gorgeously scruffy and Philip Glenister is all clean cut DI. *squee* :)

British TV owns me at the moment. All these great shows I never knew about or have only managed to see bits of and now I can watch them all. It's like wandering into a video store and finding you've seen almost none of the titles and tehy're all fresh and new. I used to watch much more on the ABC - before the place I moved into had almost no reception for it. The power of the internet has reconnected me. :)

Hehe... it's a good show, isn't it?!?!?!

It's gets better and better and you find out the real story!

And it's got Bill Nighy and James McAvoy!!

I am totally going to have to borrow. *will be around on chat for the next ten minutes or so*

*giggles* I think British TV may own a bit of us all now. I used to watch more ABC before they went crazy and they shows went downhill writing-wise.

I've never heard of this show either, I'll have to look it up on wikipedia. *grins*

State of Play is just bloody awsome. For the record, British TV has slowly started to own me since 2002/3 and I discovered Spooks... the obsession has grown from there.

As for McAvoy (although I'm sure you've already looked him up by now!), he played Macbeth in the recent BBC retellings, and is his newest movie is Atonement, opposite Kiera Knightley. Don't know if that helps at all, but thought I would tell you what I knew.
