"This superbly paced four-parter is British TV drama at its best."
"The sizzling thriller Secret State is stylish, well paced and nearly impossible to stop watching."
"One of the chief purposes of fiction is to explore our deepest societal fears, and Secret State does that with panache."
"From the apocalyptic opening scene, this political thriller grabs you by the throat and doesn't release you from its grip for a second. Think 'State Of Play' or 'Edge Of Darkness'."
"This pearl of a drama will delight both the conspiratorially minded - and also those simply in search of a cracking good story."

Ed’s US television directing credits include 5 episode of UCP’s Royal Pains for USA Network, 4 episodes of CBS’ Life Is Wild and NBC’s The Philanthropist. Ed also directed 3 episodes in Season 1 of Merlin for Syfy and the BBC.
