Spooks?

[MinnieQuill]

I was just wondering if anyone watched 'Spooks' and what they thought about it.

I absolutely love it - obviously - and wondered if there were any other fellow slightly obsessives out there, and if not slightly obsessives than those who like it a alot.

Also, what do people think of the characters. I love Adam Carter (I am going to marry him; it's written in the stars) and Ros Myers, but have heard a few say that the introduction of the 'statuesque blonde spook' (Ros, obviously) has made the series go downhill. Seeing as the fact that Hermione Norris who plays Ros is probably my favourite actress and the reason I began watching 'Spooks', I want to know what people think.

Also, does anyone watch 'Wire in the Blood'? I love seasons 1 - 3, but then they got rid of Carol Jordan (hello? one of the two main protagonists) and replaced her. After that I stopped watching. Any opinions there.

AND, finally - can someone tell me what 'Kingdom' is like. I was watching an interview with Hermione Norris and saw a clip and now laugh if I even think about it.

I liked the first season of Spooks, but I don't like it anymore. Its too angsty for me. My parents enjoy it, and they also enjoyed the first few seasons of Wire in the Blood, but its not for me either. I prefer crime more along the lines of Jonathan Creek.

I didn't mind Jonathan Creek but I guess I do like the angst. lol. You need only look at my stories to figure that one out. I loved the action in Season 5 of Spooks; the scenes where Adam and Ros took out all of an armed team by themselves was brilliant. And highly unrealistic, but still brilliant.

I like how Adam didn't come back from being shot all gung-ho as well. And that his wife's death affected him badly and he didn't just move on like nothing happened like in heaps of other shows. And the introduction was Ros was great; she's such a good character. Completely sure of her own abilities, and therefore knows that she is damn good without being arrogant. Not to mention that she had that sarcastic sort of humour which I love.

She and Adam would make such a good couple...
