Product Description
Amazon.com
British intelligence unit MI-5 has survived terrorists, assassins, political intrigue, and American interference, but can it withstand the loss of some of its main characters? In fact it can! Rupert Penry-Jones, as wily agent Adam Carter (intoduced last season), comfortably takes the lead while some fresh faces (like Anna Chancellor, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) fill out the solid continuing supporting cast. The show's strengths are uninterrupted: Zippy exposition that crams a season's worth of plot into a single episode; cunningly intertwined plot threads and compelling twists; clever use of gadgetry and surveillance devices; and sterling guest stars, including Martine McCutcheon (Love Actually), Rupert Graves (Different for Girls), and Douglas Hodge (The Way We Live Now). All ten episodes of the fourth series of MI-5 (known as Spooks in the U.K.) mix high-tension plots with thorny political debate--is torture justifiable to save lives? Can dirty tricks be used for democratic ends? Naturally, since our heroes are the agency, the show comes down on their side...but enough shades of gray exist to give the show some intelligent bite. When it turns out an innocent man has been imprisoned for two years, has his imprisonment turned him into the terrorist he didn't used to be? Combine this with crisp dialogue, tense performances, and moments of inspired direction (like the gripping gunfight lit almost exclusively by muzzle flashes) and you've got a top-notch spy series. The extras are few but include interviews with actors, directors, and producers. --Bret Fetzer
