Although I do not yet possess the DVD of this Kudos masterpiece, I sat and watched the whole of the season last year and absolutely loved it! From chasing an ex-CIA agent who is hell-bent on destorying the life of Tom Quinn to the kidnapping of the child of Spook's very own Posh and Becks, Riff and Bea, and from the trail of "Agent X" to the kidnapping of two of MI5's finest officers, Spooks will have you gripped from the moment you press "play". This is the world every James Bond wannabe would love! Grab yourself a copy of a true masterpiece from the creators of Hustle.
I wanted to buy all of the first 3 series so looked on ebay as I thought they would be a bargain. BEWARE!!!!!!! You can get them brand new for £12 with no postage cost from HMV or Amazon. People are paying mad prices on ebay for them. Do your research before you buy any goods like this.
Absolutely great series would recomend to anyone entertainment value excellent, characters believeable interesting and on ocasion topical plots who knows what goes on in MI5 HAVE NOW GOT SERIES 1-5
There is no point reading this review or buying this item unless you are up to speed with the previous two series, there is simply too much history and links to the characters and storylines in th opening episode. The 'previously' quick 'spooklette' at the begining, lasting maybe 40 seconds, cannot convey all that has gone before in the previous 12 episodes.
If you have seen the other two series then you will agree that the opening episode of series 3 is quite simply the best yet, nothing touches it.
It works because you know the characters, plots and interaction that preceeded it. Its nail biting and shocking. No one acts as predicited and the ending isn't predictable, I couldn't believe it when.... well you will see.
This is an explosive series with action all the way. With the departure of much loved agent Tom as he finds a consciences and Zoe is on trial for man slaughter in a government white wash and there has to be. Not least the introduction of new faces to series.
Stealth, Secrecy, Intrigue, Deception and that’s just their personal lives! For the first time ever we get a glimpse into the private lives as they juggle the role of spy with the role of family, lover and friends.
I would say it has not been as good as previous series Spooks, but no matter what it dishes out it is still the best ever series ever penned by the BBC. Well written, excellent acting and good direction = the best ever series ever produced in England so far.
eBay is always the best source of good items at very resonable prices. This was a particularly GODD ONE!! However - if you would like an overall comment - it would be nice to see bad sellers/payers 'cleaned out' and a rating by eBay itself on all users rather than leave it to the users themselves. I PARTICULARLY disliked it when I - quite reasonably - gave a seller a 'bad'/red rating (he failed to deliver the item at all or even contact me about it!!) at which point HE gave ME a bad rating!! I had little redress.... Being scr*wed by a bad seller is VERY unreasonable - isn't it!!?? Tony Newey
