Craving some spy action? There are just 10 episodes in this third season of the U.K.'s popular and acclaimed espionage series MI-5 (known as Spooks in its country of origin), but there's more intrigue on hand than most TV action/dramas (or feature films, for that matter), and the sheer volume of extra features will definitely please devotees of this excellent program. If volume 3 is your introduction to MI-5, the opening episode, "Project Friendly Fire," is a solid crash course on the heights of suspense and plot twists the show undertakes on a regular basis: agent Tom Quinn (Matthew Macfayden from Pride and Prejudice) has disappeared after shooting his superior (Peter Firth), and his teammates must not only clear his name but save MI-5 itself from a government investigation. From there, MI-5 ratchets up the tension and action in each episode: the team tackles an extremist faction that has disrupted Middle East peace talks and now threatens British officials ("A Prayer for My Daughter"), a hacker bent on destroying Britain from the inside ("Outsiders"), and a kidnapping plot that forces new agent Adam (Rupert Penry-Jones) to make a terrible decision. In short, it's superior action-adventure television that certainly gives Stateside series like 24 a run for its money.
For series fans, volume 3 offers a staggering amount of supplemental features on the season, its performers, and the creative forces behind the show. Featurettes on the directors of each episode are included, as are interviews with cast members on their careers and characters, and series creator David Wolstencroft, who discusses the program with other writers from the program. Ten minutes of deleted scenes, a gallery of images from the season, and commentary on each episode (from producer Andrew Woodhead, director Johnny Campbell, executive producer Simon Crawford Collins, and cast member David Oyelowo, among others) round out the extras. Oh, and if you can't wait to find out what happens in season 4, there's five minutes of speculation from the cast and crew. And like all good spy stories, you'll just have to wait and see who's telling the truth. -- Paul Gaita

Worlds collide and nothing is what it seems in the thrilling new installment of MI-5. Tom has been branded a traitor and has disappeared, while Harry is in the hospital, seriously wounded. There's dissension in the ranks as Danny and Zoe are determined to clear Tom's name and an enemy they never thought possible has put the entire service at risk. An enigmatic agent, Adam Carter (Rupert Penry-Jones) has been recruited from MI-6 to help pick up the broken pieces but with his track record nobody will be safe.

Better with Each Season,
By A Customer
This review is from: MI-5: Volume 3 (DVD)
Although I enjoyed the first two seasons and highly recommend them, sometimes the scripts felt a little contrived to create the suspense. However, the end of season two and this season really hit the mark!!! The stories are very well written and executed. The evolution of Tom Quinn and other characters is absolutely amazing. Simply some of the best and most daring television I have ever seen.I cannot recommend this enough! It should get six stars out of five.

Once you start the first season of MI-5 you are hooked! The characters are engaging with a nice blend of personalities. Well written and acted. The Brits know their 'stuff'. Great drama and action that will captivate your interest. Do not miss out on this excellent production. It will leave you wanting more.
