Spooks - Complete Season 1 on DVD (2002)

John-James Worrall from Warrington , 06/11/2003

If you have not seen this top class British production yet, put it on your list now. While it doen't have the gloss of a US show such as 24, it more than makes up for it with strong topical storylines and gutsy script. Measured perfomances ensure that the show stays believable.

It takes guts for a show with so many good performers to kill one of its star names off mid series, but Spooks does this and justifies every second.

There is not a week episode of this show, and you will be gripped by the final images ensuring that you place and advance order for the second series.

A thoroughly entertaining, all substance show, dont expect the glamour of 24, as this has been forfeited in place of a very solid script, topical storylines and excellent acting all around. (Not that 24 was any less, I loved it, its jsut a different style). I have watched every episode apart from the one I missed - the infamous deep fryer scene, which I am renting the DVD to see specifically. I am very impressed. The story, equipment and characters and locations are so real, it is very rare a series of this calibre comes out, an unexpected gem, especially from the BBC!

What a shame. I love spooks and these episodes are very good as always. The downside is whoever chose to produce this dvd felt that minimalism was the way to go regarding the number of episodes on the disc. What you do get to see is enjoyable - there just isn't enough of it resulting in a slight feeling of being ripped off!

I loved this programme and was so happy to watch the ones I had already seen and be surprised by the ones I hadn't yet seen. Production was top-notch and much better than anything in a long while. Deserves Baftas quick!
