Similar to 24 Spooks is amazing and very typically British with a lower budget than it's American counterpart but is fantastically more realistic. I'm a HUGE fan also of 24 but when it comes to realism and believability I think Spooks wins hands down.
This is probably about as realistic a depiction of the activities and lives of MI5 agents as you will see on TV, in the same kind of way that The Bill or Casualty depict those professions. The the plots are always captivating and exhilarating, enticing you to want to watch more. All this makes for great entertainment in my books.
I like 24 for the action, though I prefer Spooks for the intellect and "classic" spying done by the British.
Wow to look back at times and scenarios that did seem a fantasy, scary how relevant and accurate some of the storylines are, very good to see that the writers had the right pulse or this could easily have fallen into the oblivion of other British drama series.
The acting is not top notch for a pilot season but it is fundamentally British and you can relate to the characters and situations more. I am a fan of 24 but watching it you can feel detatced, watching this you see your own country, familiar locales and it somehow brings the whole essence of the series onto a more personal level.
Sit down and relax, enjoy the suspense and regale the storylines that seem all the more possible in the current political climate.
A god foundation and thankfully continuing series of true British origin.
very good series amazing and very interesting DVD menu
Fantastic TV show... very gripping episodes which tell interesting stories. The DVD has all the episodes from this series, along with features like interviews with the cast/writers/production team etc. which are interesting to listen to, and give a real insight into how the programme is made. Would highly recommend.
no other tv show like it watched every episode when they were on bbc and i've watched them on dvd excellent tv at a great price
