How did you get into watching Spooks?

There was a lot of promotional work done for it, and it just looked quite cool to a young me! I always got the names of the characters and their legend's mixed up in the first series! I've grown up with this show and 24, which sadly finished this year. Don't think I've missed an episode yet, and have got all the boxsets on dvd, just waiting 14 days until series 8 is out! Roll on series 9!

My daughter has just got into Spooks in the school summer hols and she is 10! She has read all the Alex Rider spy books so kept badgering me to watch it. She only watchs eps that I know the content of and she will only see S9 eps after we have already watched them. I was worried about the violence but she was 'stabbed' to death in a stage production recently, so assured me that she knows it's 'just acting'. Maybe too young for Spooks but she loves it and can't wait for S9 to start.
Funniest bit was when she hid behind her hands for any kissing, which she thought was all too YUK!! She loves Lucas...but not as much as that Robert bloke from Twilight. No taste!
