I cannot even remember the very first time I saw this movie on TV. I know I was a kid. And I have managed to watch at least once every couple of years. My daughter was catching up on Mentalist and the episode that Casablanca was mentioned that Lisbon had never seen it. I can't sleep tonight--it happens--so I watched it for the umpteenth time on HBOMAX. Oh my. Even though I know most lines of the movie, it still surprises me with something I forgot or maybe even never knew. They just don't make movies like this anymore.

Am now watching this for the third time. This is a must see. Not one that you can peek in on while you do something else. You'll have to keep up as it will run away from you.

Oh my goodness! Well, it took me about four months to find a way to view the original BBC version of "State of Play", but it was worth the wait. It isn't available on any of the online streaming services in the US, so I had get my detecting skills dusted off. Every episode had e clinging to the edge of my recliner as I had to look for each episode in order to watch; why, oh, why does the BBC have to make it so difficult to watch their made-for-television mini series in Region 1?

I would like to thank Daily Motion for making it possible for another American to watch another far superior original film.

When I first saw the title and that it starred John Simm, I knew it could be a rough watch. I was 15 minutes into it and I was hooked. Another 30 minutes and the story became so intense, I thought I might not be able to finish watching. But I did. And then I couldn't stop watching.

John Simm had pulled off another masterpiece. To think the American side of the Atlantic didn't know of this amazing actor. Bravo to all the performers, the director, the producers. A job well done.
