Mi-5: Volume 10

MI-5 in It's Tenth Year - Still a Home Run
It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since MI-5 first began in 2002, and what a ten-year run it has been. MI-5 has over this decade consistently shown itself to be one of the most intelligent, exciting, and thought-provoking shows ever put on television, and I can say without hesitation that Season Ten continues squarely in that tradition. And without giving any spoilers and without trying to reminisce too much here in this, I can say that I, like millions of people around the world, will now sorely miss being able to watch the latest MI-5 productions as they came out each year.

MI-5 is the government agency in the UK that is designed to deal with domestic security, perhaps roughly analogous to the FBI in the US. "5" is made up of normal people who join the agency "in defense of the realm," and deals with the threats and personal sacrifice each person makes while fulfilling their role in the organization.

Season Ten is the shortest season made during the...

One of The Best Shows Ever Made
Like other reviewers have said, this season is quite intense. What I have always loved about Spooks is that they really keep you in suspense for quite a long time. And no one is safe in the cast from being cut. When you think about it, it's better than typical American shows, because in the end, you know the cast will stay together. Not so with Spooks, which made it refreshing.

Part of me was hoping Harry and Ruth would end up together, but in the frame of things and in the vein in which this show was made, the ending did make sense. I just can't believe it's over. I really can't.

The BBC is amazing, and constantly does things of real substance. I rarely watch television in America; can't stand all the reality crap that TV has become, but every once in a while, a series like Spooks comes along and shows you not all TV is bad.

The Final Season
I have to say I just watched the entire season in one day. It's only 6 episodes that are packed with intense emotions throughout. This is probably the most intense season of them all. So many surprises that you'll be asking for more even when it's over. Lots of shocking surprises to see and tears to be shed. BBC has done a great job with this show and definitely a phenomenal job with ending it. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did. Truly wonderful, will truly be missed and thank god I have all the seasons on DVD...lol!
