Secret State Episode 1 Review/Reaction Post
Hello all.
Well, that was bloody good, wasn't it?
Feel free to share your thoughts, good or bad, in the comments. I'll collect some selected quotes from media reviews below:
"...lots of good performances... Heaps of fun, but not a whole lot more."
- The Guardian
"involving, if not always wholly convincing drama...Still, the good far outweighed the bad, and all the complex scene-setting meant that, even by the end of an action-packed first hour, it felt like the real story was only just beginning. Secret State’s opening epsiode suggested a cracking series. With the hairs already prickling on my neck, I’m definitely booking my seat for the rest of what promises to be a throughly entertaining conspiracy thriller. "
- The Telegraph
"This first episode did exactly what any opening of a political thriller should: it took your lapels in a vicelike grip. It doesn’t look as if it will let go until the last mystery has been unravelled."
