How long have you been a Spooks fan and how did it happen

[SNAFUGuy]

I started watching the show knowing nothing about it at all. A friend of mine at a video store told me I should watch it and I did. Honestly the first episode made me want to watch the next one just to see what happened. The second episode outraged me which I am pretty sure most know why for obvious reasons but it also made me a fan. I was drawn into the harsh reality of the show, the life and death gamble the characters were placed in.

I really do love the show and I was upset when I heard it was ending. I would add, though it probably doesn't matter much, am an American. I think that also played into why I love the show. I really enjoy the perspective of how the Americans are viewed in this show. I think that it may be over done a bit for story plot but at the same time I see it as accurate.

I think one of the things that keeps me interested is the spycraft used in the show, it's real and accurate from what I have gathered from reading and that realism makes the already stellar writing and character development.

I am a life long fan and can only wait till another show comes out to rival what it has done to revolutionize the intelligence show genre. The only show I think comes close to accuracy in regards to spycraft is Burn Notice and Covert Affairs.

I think many American shows would be better suited to have the often cavalier attitude the writers have towards characters in the show, the constant recycling of characters has kept the show new and fresh every season. Even though it has left me often so angry I would declare that I would never watch another episode, my desire to see what happened in the wake would cause me to log in to watch another episode.
