Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I am amazed at the scathing reviews of 'The State'. Trust me, as a man who has been on the front lines against daesh in Iraq, this is worth the watch. I think this show did an amazing job of showing the realities of living under a daesh state of power. All while doing it without crossing the line and keeping it clean enough for a younger audience. As someone who has actually been there, it is mind-blowing to me that this show is portrayed by other reviewers as wishing to be sympathetic to the recruits. It shows the brutal reality which those in areas under daesh rule face. This show does an amazing job of captivating while educating on the beliefs of daesh and their twisted views of Islam. I am very disappointed in seeing how the masses received this show and hope it doesn't lead to Nat Geo closing the books permanently on the mini-series.

As a US Navy veteran, political junkie, and consumer of books written by those whom look to reform Islam. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a woman I respect and cried with while reading through her three books.This show may reflect the internal dialog of those who choose to follow this pathetic path, it also shows an arrogance and ignorance of the westerners that decided to create this story. A female doctor who brings her young son with her to ISIS controlled territory. She admits she knows gay men are thrown from roofs, women are taken into slavery, and children are trained to be killers. She continues on her worthless path as she's treated like a goat, pushed and shoved around, has her feet beaten bloody, is asked to use non-muslims as human organ donaters. She hits her limits when her son takes visits to chop chop square, learns to play football with a human head, then decides to run when her life is threatened. Only to go back to Europe and aggressively defend her mistake as simply a mistake anybody could make, and now that she came back wants to still have custody of her child. Give me a break.

This is characteristic Daesh propaganda material. It is about mental disordered, psycho retarded, scum of society...etc. persons who joined Daesh with ultimate aim to extinct others who does not "think" as they do and now asks for forgiveness because they did not succeeded in their goals. In this, so called "movie", violently is presented to us, normal people, that their causes were justified and we shall forgive them because "they did not know where they gone....Oh yes...they knew that very well.I am sick of that propaganda materials. This "movie" should be censored.

So on one channel I'm watching the news, seeing chaos and death on the streets of some of the most beautiful cities on the planet and it breaks my heart.I then turn the channel over to find a show which almost glorifies these acts of violence and tries to make us feel pity for the sheep who travel land and sea to join their evil world and it disgusts me.I decided to finish the series, and where I appreciate the characters (and actors) I just couldn't relate or connect to the overall point in the show.To conclude, it shocks me that this drama was created when there are currently people all over the world being selflessly murdered by this organisation.
