One Of The Best TV Spy Shows Ever!

Spooks, known in America as MI-5, was simply a great Spy Show for the first decade of the 21st century. The were great plot lines, good acting (especially Peter Firth, as head of MI5 Harry Pearce), and the most incredible plot twists I've ever seen. And, last but not least, Spooks killed off cast members randomly before doing that was cool. Awesome show!

I agree, loved that show. I used watch it on A & E back in the day. Have you seen the film?

Yes, I was able to see it through Redbox. Peter Firth was as great as usual, but I didn't like Kit Harrington. He didn't have the looks or the ability to play a good MI5 agent. I guess all of those gorgeous guys on the TV show spoiled me for anyone else.
I have seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 on DVD.

Have you watched it yet? I was disappointed (I should probably watch it again though), I only gave it a 6/10.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I saw it about 2 years ago when I rented it. I'm going to watch the DVD I bought sometime this week.

?? Did you delete your 'previous post'? All I see is that you bought the DVD. No big deal though. I loved the series (except for the random killing of regulars), so I really was a bit disappointed about the movie. But I don't think they made it for 'us', I think they were trying to take advantage of Harington's fame & hope to bring in new viewers?
