Product Description
From Amazon.com
When it comes to delivering exciting and dramatic espionage stories, few do it as well as the British, as evidenced by the BBC's high-tech spy series MI-5 (known to U.K. audiences as Spooks). And the hit show's second season, which is compiled and well-annotated in this five-disc set, serves up more international intrigue while ratcheting up the drama in the lives of its main characters, most notably team leader Tom Quinn (Matthew MacFayden). Season 2 opens quite literally with a bang, with Tom's girlfriend and young daughter are trapped inside their house with a booby-trapped laptop set to explode (episode 7, "Legitimate Targets"). From there, the tension escalates in each episode, with the MI-5 team facing extremists ("Nest of Angels"), computer espionage ("Hackers"), and illegal arms trading ("Clean Skin"). But the series' most intriguing wrinkle comes in its final episodes, starting with a visit by the U.S. President, and concluding with a cliffhanger season closer that calls Tom's loyalty into question. Solid performances by the program's cast and intelligent scripting should help boost MI-5's rapidly growing and rabidly loyal viewership, who should also appreciate the extensive supplemental features in this boxed set. As with the previous MI-5 set, all 10 episodes are uncut and presented in widescreen format, with commentary by cast and crew, nine behind-the-scenes featurettes, and two hours of deleted scenes chief among the bonus material. --Paul Gaita

Can't get enough,
By Ian (Rural Nova Scotia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MI-5: Volume 2 (DVD)
This series (both 1 and 2) has been stunning since I popped in the very first episode. The writing is exceptional - it deals with people and culture and the world political situation without sacrificing the story. The characters are very believable - we see their strengths and their weaknesses. The cinematography is wonderful. All in all - a real treat

Great TV,
By A Customer
This review is from: MI-5: Volume 2 (DVD)
This is really a great TV show. I am sick of adds and reruns and changes in network schedules. This show is excellent and far better then anything I have seen on TV recently.

This series is beautifully done, everything from the relationship between the characters to the camera work. It is intelligent, gritty and highly addictive.
