New Fan from New England

[langley]

Hi, All,
I just wanted to introduce myself and let you all know how much I'm enjoying this forum. I actually started watching Spooks (MI-5 here) at Season 7 because I was a huge fan of RA. I watched it on the Netflix streaming queue, but then Seasons 8 and 9 weren't available on Netflix (they still aren't) so we decided to go back to season 1. The staff was totally different! But we recognized some of the actors from Death at a Funeral, so we were happy about that. I soon learned about the Spooks way of killing off the main characters.
So after watching Season 7 and then 1-4, we couldn't get Season 5 because it was only available via DVD and there was a long wait to get it, so I found a place online to watch it. Then I got really upset that Ruth left and I had to find out if she would ever come back. So I Googled Ruth and found out she came back in season 8, so I skipped season 6 (and I'd already seen season 7) and watched Seasons 8 and 9 online and then went back and watched season 6.
So I've never actually watched all the episodes in a linear fashion.
I couldn't sleep and could barely eat for about 3 weeks because I got so caught up in the Ruth/Harry story.
Now I'm dying to find out what happens in season 10, and as I posted in another thread, I'm hoping to go to London to watch the first episode!
