""Tracey Ullman's State of the Union" provides a fresh and unique critique of the state of American politics, celebrity, and social justice. There's not one issue not covered in the first season of this series.
Tracey Ullman has had her finger on the pulse of America for decades now. It's wonderful to have her back in a weekly show!
"State"'s celebrity impersonations are incredible! Tracey Ullman's Andy Rooney impersonation, as well as Renee Zellweger, have now become iconic. The Renee sketch is one that you never want to end!
"State of the Union" is not a remake, or a continuation of "Tracey Takes On", or "The Tracey Ullman Show". It's a fresh format, still allowing Ullman to show off all of her many talents.
"State of the Union" wins where "Little Britain: USA" massively failed. Tracey understands America. She's lived here for over 20 years. She knows its people inside and out.
The look of the series and the theme music is enchanting. Troy Miller does a great job as director. Troy Miller, is producer of, "Flight of the Concords".
I have to disagree with the comment about the quality of the DVD. I had no problems playing it, and it's features are good. The bloopers are funny, the deleted bits are enjoyable.
Can't wait for more! ***** Stars!"
Tracey does it again

"Tracey is absolutely brilliant as this cast of characters. My husband and I laughed until we cried. She is spot on, impersonating regular folk as well as celebrities, and it's all in good fun. I will watch it over and over again and can't wait to buy the next series."
Tracey fans will love it!

"It is about time that Tracey fans were rewarded with new material. It will not disappoint those who have eagerly awaited her very on-target humor."
