Spooks

Discovered a new TV series yesterday. For all the 24 fans out there, this might be interesting. It's the British version of it. Although it is not filmed in real time over 24 hours, it's highly entertaining. It follows Her Majesty's secret service agents, ie, Spooks, who work at MI-5.

It's not a James Bond type flick at all, way more realistic and less stereotypical. A little less action than 24, in a more flegmatic British way, but in that sense as well, it's more realistic in that the characters don't get shot, hung, beaten up, dropped from planes and helicopters and still manage to save the world and shoot 600 terrorist in the space of a day.

I believe it's broadcast in the US under the name MI-5 (why not Spooks, I don't know). Check it out if you have a chance.
