MI-5 (or
Spooks, its original title) is a long running, award winning British spy series that has enjoyed continued success in
Britain and abroad. In the US however, A&E, PBS and BBCA have tried broadcasting the
series (
seasons 1-4) to universally disappointing ratings. It is no wander though: in order to accommodate commercials, each original episode was mercilessly cut down by a quarter of its running time (from 59 min to 45 min !!!), making it virtually incomprehensible.
Another good news is that
Season 7 is the best yet and can be easily followed even without the benefit of the prior six
seasons. In
episode one we are introduced to a new character, Lucas North, a senior case officer released in a Russian-British spy exchange after eight years in a Russian prison. His story arcs thru entire
season 7, though most episodes are self enclosed and deal with subplots relevant to today's viewer. We have nuclear attacks, bank collapse, and the thread of internal espionage
