The Bottom Line: "Better every season"
Brilliant start to the new series but with token upset! ...Continue »
We all knew it was going to happen eventually! Although Adam was arguably the best head of Section-D to date, the law of Spooks decrees that popular characters get killed-off regardless! So farewell Adam, but welcome (back) Lucas and Ros!

I've been looking forward to the new series since Peter & Rupert appeared on Top Gear in the summer and credit to them for giving nothing away! There we all were thinking that Adam was sticking around!

I'm glad that Ros is going to play an integral part in this series again, as she got better and better in the last series and admittedly Adam was getting a bit wet!

The only thing that was a shame about this episode was the exact copy of the film 'Wild Geese' in Harry communicating Adam's death to his son. But if you look at the flipside it was a nice homage!

From this episode it looks like we're in for a pretty good series, so my only hope it that it can match or surpass the excellent previous one!!

The Bottom Line: "Personal favorite"
They are your the postman, the sub teacher, the stock exchanger and most importantly, they are the only people who you can rely on to protect you and your country. They move in the shadows of political debate and they risk their lives for your comfort. ...Continue »
Uncompromising dialogue, intelligent relationships, fast paced action and deliberate plot twists are just some of the words that spring to mind when I think of Spooks. First and foremost this is a drama, yet it has romance, action, thriller and certain aspects of science fiction. This is one of the few shows that I have ever seen that has all of the above and delivers on every single aspect. You are attracted instantly to the plot lines (which change almost as soon as you think you have it figured out) and the acting is top class, clever and moving. This show sets the standards for all other British dramas and can be classed as the ultimate modern cliff-hanger ending. If you have never bothered watching this show then I urge you to start doing so, if you "used" to watch it then gave up, I urge you to see sense, it is truly remarkable and deserves your undivided attention.

Awesome show! Fast paced action and twists and turns with every episode. This is probably one of the best spy shows on right now. For those who are fans of the action and suspense genre, this show is for you. Character development is also great, and like any good action/drama, you never know who will be next to disappear. Spooks is a show that catches your attention from start to finish. The story moves at a fast pace and while some of the action and the way that things are solved are a little dramatic and unreal, it is still a great show to watch.

This is another example of the quality work that the BBC offers on TV.

Once you start watching this show it catches on to you really fast. I started with the first seson and couldn't stop watching it. The story lines and acting are so real and actual it's kind of frightening.

It's only kind of sad that almost all the characters that started out in the first season have left the show. But it has to be said, the implementation of every new character has been very smooth. It isn't disturbing at all to see a new face. The only disturbing is the way that some of the familiair faces have left. By watching it you could almost feel the pain of the characters.

Spooks the series-hope to see more in the very near future! ...Continue »
Just wanted to drop by and say what a fantastic show, have loved all them, and would love to see more episodes.

The charaters are hard and gritty, the suspence is killing sometimes, but every show is superb in it acting and direction.

I usually will only watch a few series of some shows, as they get mundane and boring, but this isn't the case with Spooks......a very well thought out and sustaining drama, and one I hope goes on for many years, please keep up the great work that is being acheived.

Peter hope to see you in Marlow High Street again soon.......The lady in pink!(13/05/08)
