Maybe it's because you need to watch, listen to every line and actually think to watch shows like Spooks... and the majority of audience who vote want brain candy?

Aha, don't worry, I'm in the same position! I have one friend who watches Spooks (although I think she does so mainly for the RA eye-candy) and another friend who watches some good drama (eg. Accused, Life on Mars etc... sadly not Spooks) but that's about it. That's why I joined this forum actually; I was desperate to discuss Spooks with someone, but no-one I know really watches the show

Yeah, that's what I'd assume. People want something quick and shocking to keep them entertained, preferably something they don't have to think about too much after a long day at work It kind of annoys me that Spooks seems to be trying to be more "exciting" recently, at the expense of the wit and intelligence which it usually carries.
