MI-5, Volumes 1 and 2 (2003) Review

I am currently obsessed with this series after having a friend turn me on to it. It's perfect for the summer when the rest of my crime drama shows are on hiatus.
This also just might be the most realistic spy series ever produced. I have trouble sleeping (in a good way) after watching episodes. I would also add for those faint of heart this series is even more realistic and chilling in light of the tragic events in London this summer. Be aware of that. Also be aware that they are not afraid to kill off main characters without any of the "very special episode" hoopla of U.S. shows.

The fourth series of MI-5 (Spooks) packs a slightly lesser punch than the previous three, but fascinating and entertaining nonetheless.
For my money, this series leaves stuff like 24 at the starting gate - it retains a good grip of the real world and does not treat other countries as either idiotic or as a fiefdom. The fact that the series is working through its' second team of actors is edge of the seat stuff and validates plotlines nicely.
The issues of state sponsored torture, big brother, personal privacy and civil rights are raised throughout, but never challenged to any great extent.
Well produced, slick and gives Mr Bond a run for his money.

As the fourth season of MI-5 begins the stories are more relevant than ever before. The series has always been fast-paced and hard-hitting but now the battleground of national security provides an even more dramatic backdrop to the challenges facing the team from MI-5. The group were left reeling after the shocking death of Danny at the hands of hostage-takers as the last season concluded. Now Adam, Harry, Ruth, Fiona and rising star Zafar set out to become even stronger in their battle to safeguard the nation. DVD Features:Audio CommentaryDocumentaries:Two-part documentary about the making of Series 4 of MI-5, including interviews with cast members, episode clips and extensive behind-the-scenes footage from both the set and locationInterviews:Exclusive interview with MI-5 director Julian Simpson Peter Firth (Harry) InterviewOther:Spy drama is at an all time high on TV with the success of Alias and 24.
