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. :)

*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*

Yeah, I remember one holidays when I tuned in to ABC every Friday night to watch a mini series. They had "Armadillo" and "Wire in the Blood" among others. I still have those two on tape. Lately it's been Doctor Who and Life on Mars, so they're playing some good stuff. I think I just have trouble knowing what is good to watch. :)

Finished the first 4 episodes of State of Play back-to-back last night. *yawns tiredly this morning* It's good so far! Very good! :)
