Miniseries "State of Play" a keeper

I am currently in the middle of a terrific 2003 British TV series entitled "State of Play." I realize that in 2009 an American film was made, but I usually go to the source when remakes are created ("La Femme Nikita" over the American version "Point of No Return," same with Sweden's "Let the Right One In" in lieu of the "Let Me In" American remake). I inevitably watch the remakes, and I'm usually disappointed. But I digress...

This is one excellent political thriller! I just finished the first three episodes on DVD via Netflix and am mailing it back today. The bummer is I'm going out of town for the next two weeks, so I'm going to have to wait until the third of January to see the remaining three episodes.

Unfortunately, the series isn't available for streaming via Netflix. Ugh!

Oh, well...At least I have something to look forward to when I get back from Las Vegas. Anybody reading this, please check it out. Maybe make it a stocking stuffer for someone who loves political thrillers.
