Spooks: I Spy Apocalypse (2003)
The Only Tedious Episode So Far
The beginning of this episode is really gripping. As the hour unfolded I found myself looking at how many DVD chapters had elapsed. Whilst for the actors this was a cherry episode because it was shot chronologically, as a viewer it was rather predictable in the style of "Lord Of The Flies." I knew how it would end, just not when, but as the DVD chapter was 9 & firearms were produced, it knew the end was near. The acting was superior, the idea was brilliant. As they say, the operation was a success but the patient expired.
Overall, one tedious episode out of all the ones I've seen is about the worst thing I can say about MI-5. It's just a brilliantly acted, directed & written series! What I really like about it is that the main characters come & go, just as in real life. & there is mortality on screen just as there is what is jokingly known as 'real life'.
Spooks: Divided They Fall (2005)
Season 4 Is Starting To Tax My Suspended Belief
The story line of "Divided They Fall" is quite probable to being with. Far Right politician (the very hot Rupert Graves) begins spreading Nazi-esquire propaganda. So far so good. But as the episode progresses the stupid mistakes made by the team are absolutely ridiculous.
The agent manning a safe house in Luton opens the door without checking to see who is on the other side. Ruth enters the same house without backup. These are MI-5 agents, for crying out loud! & they make stupid procedural mistakes that a rookie wouldn't dream of making! As has been mentioned about this programme before, I wonder each week how Adam & his merry band of agents is going to save greater London from yet another terrorist plot. Yawn.
