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!

True Confessions: My nine year old has watched with me. Danny was his first favorite - who can blame him? - but he likes Ros to because (as he puts it) "She's tough and brave and can really fight...for a girl." (Cue sex role stereotype conversation with Tom Boy mother. ) He hasn't watched them all. I monitor it as well but it comes on TV at 10pm, after bedtime, so it isn't too hard for me to preview the episodes. Like his mom, he likes spy stories - Spy Kids is a favorite. His dad is an actor so he understands reality v. fantasy. He thought the S1 DVD was one of the coolest things he has ever seen the way the cover slips off to reveal hidden pictures.
