I started watching Spooks (or MI-5 on this side of the pond) b/c of Richard Armitage. I really enjoyed him in Robin Hood, looked him up on IMDB and discovered he was on Spooks (as an aside, love him as John Porter in Chris Ryan's Strike Back -- can't wait for Season 2!). So watched Season 7 in a weekend, and am almost through Season 8. Tomorrow night I'm watching episode 8. While I started watching b/c of RA, I love the show so much and will keep watching even once he's gone (even though I hope that won't be for a very, very, very long time or ever). I've got previous seasons on order from the library.

It's tough b/c this is the sort of show you need to be able to talk to someone about. None of my friends watch it, although I keep suggesting it. So I'm just thrilled to have found this forum! I will probably be more of a lurker but will definitely be around and look forward to reading people's thoughts on everything in the Spooks universe.

Some of my other favourite shows are Burn Notice, Sons Of Anarchy, White Collar, & Merlin.

Cheers!

ps - how I can get a Cdn flag next to my username? Ummm, never mind -- the flag is there.

You got it figured out.

Welcome to the forum! Many are here for much similar reasons.

I watch Burn Notice pretty faithfully, White Collar semi regularly, but never got into Sons of Anarchy and Merlin.

Thanks for the welcome! This seems like a friendly forum. The internet isn't always a nice place but I think I'll like it here.

I'm pretty pumped about the Sam Axe prequel movie that's in the works. Sam is my favourite character on Burn Notice. Especially when he pulls out some Chuck Finley!

Hi Giftcard and welcome. Also a fan of Burn Notice!!

As forums go, this is easily the most friendly I've joined! Welcome!

Hiya Giftcard, welcome to the forum!

I started watching Spooks because of RA too (after seeing him in Robin Hood, saw he was joining for S7) but haven't seen Strike Back yet. Haven't been able to get into Burn Notice, but I love Merlin

Anyway, yeah, hi

How's it goin' eh? Maybe we can meet up at Timmies sometime for a coffee...(I'm a medium double cream!) and talk about spooks!!!

Welcome! I haven't figured out the flag thing yet...
