Mi-5

[Cmill216]

Has anyone ever watched this show? I'm not sure if it's over anymore. It aired on A&E and was a British spy show. I saw a couple of episodes, and it was pretty bada$$.

very good show.

i remember the episode when he thought the bomb was in his house w/ his girl and her kid.

I was like ahhhhh that sucks and i thought they were dead

I saw a couple of episodes. It reminded me of the mini-series Ultraviolet, only without vampires. I liked it and I always meant to check out more of it.

It was Spooks in Britain, but they renamed it MI-5 here in the States.

"Spooks" in the USA usually refers to CIA agents, so calling it that here wouldn't work too well.

I have the first three series/volumes on DVD. I love a good spy show and this is a great spy show. I'm not sure if I'll pick up any more seasons though because most of the original main characters leave during the third season.

Yeah, they begun to kill off all the orginal characters.

"Spooks" can also refer to something else that really wouldn't work well.

Ghosts?


I'm assuming you mean the use of "spook" as a racial slur.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That'd be it. Which, coincidentally, I didn't even know about until the infamous sensitivity training scene in Rescue Me last season.

Season 4 of Spooks is coming out on DVD next month in the UK.
