A&E, Bring Back Spooks/MI-5!
Some British crime dramas are so good you forget to breathe at times. That is the case with "Spooks", or as they called it when packaged for American TV, "MI-5".We were introduced to some fantastic actors, tense scripts, rich characters, and harrowing images. There is a perpetual ethical struggle within and amongst the characters, as they search their way through the dark of the drugs trade, terrorism, and such.
I will never forget what I felt when watching a Muslim bomber preparing to blow-up innocent children in a playground.
Probably the best thing I could say is the program proved more than realistic; it was prophetic, given the events on 7/7/05.
That just shows the excellence of the program.
Sadly, we can no longer view it here in the states as A&E has pulled it. I am hoping they recirculate it to some of their other network channels, as they've done with "Midsomer Murder"s to the Biography Channel (honestly). Perhaps to BBC America?
score 10/10
