Diplomats and spies, oh my!

The State Within is an enjoyable series from the UK, which has an equal number of American and Brit characters. It's definitely a product of Bush-era paranoia, with the British Ambassador to Washington (played by Jason Isaacs) as the hero. It's got a nice and twisty plot, meaty acting and lots of people in hushed voices speaking with great gravity.

It's quite good! I enjoyed it. Ben Daniels was quite excellent. Jason Isaacs makes a great action hero, too. :D

I'm finding it entertaining for a few reasons: ( Tiny amusing things )

EDIT: And to give full credit (because I failed to mention it in my original post), fides recommended the series. Many thanks! Now I'll be watching Ben Daniels in Law & Order:UK with a much greater appreciation for his abilities. I can't quite describe how he did it, but by the end of the series he made even the most seemingly-innocuous entrances into something of great gravity and importance, while still playing it as innocuous. Thank you, fides!
