Im going to become rich and famous when i invent a device that lets you stab spammers in the face across the internet.

[srebrenika]

But that's why I like watching this program. Its probably the closest any of us ordinary folk will ever get to knowing what REALLY goes on in those exclusive corridors of power. I know Spooks is just a brilliantly written and directed drama but there is more truth in what it portrays than most people think. Most ordinary people wouldn't be able to stomach the reality of what truly happens while they sleep in their beds. Spooks hints at it. Dares to look. Im surprised its still on our screens

[BlacksAreBeautiful]

anyone know where I can watch full episodes?

[FonkayMonkay66]

Yeah, it probably is. Check out the site of MI5 and MI6. If you should believe them, they would have no more power than ordinary traffic agents. Pure bullshit of course. In their FAQ's, they clearly talk around the question and give no answers. Man, I love the UK.

[srebrenika]

well you will never really know unless you are involved in that kind of business. I happen to think that most of the stories in the show have an element of truth. Of course, they are fictionalised and made to appear a bit far-fetched but from what I have read about the things that go on in the halls of power, I would say the program is closer to the truth in a twisted kind of way. Anyway, I prefer to watch a show that is well made with good actors. I loathe CSI and most of the US shows.

[srebrenika]

lol really?

[Jackalofdeath]

uh no its most likely not even close

[srebrenika]

if you say so, but then what do you know? I like watching the program because it fits into the scenario of history and politics. Of course it will not be totally based on truth because the producers would probably get themselves into all kinds of trouble. It;s just a program of course. I would rather watch a well-made semi-almost-true story about real life scenarios than sit and watch the endless drivel coming out of the US like CSI, etc. Give me good olde British drama anyday.

[circesprophecy]

Completely and utterly disagree! Spooks does not in any way represent the work of the SIS/Security Services/Intelligence services. It is a complete fallacy. Mi5 themselves warn all potential recruits that expecting your life as an IO is most of the time boring and dull.

Spooks is a great show, but their plots are at best completely unimaginable (like 5 untrained socialist terrorists taking the bernhodf group hostage, who conveniently only have 4 guards...) nothing like working for SIS.

[srebrenika]

I like fictionalised characters on tv, I don't want the real thing to come up to me. I am happy being an ordinary nobody. Just think though - there are people who watch us, and people who watch the people who watch us, and then there is someone who watches all of us. No matter how sophisticated intelligence a country may have, or how ruthless they are, they all answer to a greater power. Imagine meeting the Creator of the entire universe and explaining your actions to him.

[erythoxylin]

its not a written-for me look a like true confessions of few field operatives.this movie drama has lots of details about their work.

srebrenika if u lucky u can find one of real officers when they do work across uk cos standard of their skills go down.
