I think this is the danger that Spooks can be slightly tipping into, that some viewers may think it isn't worth the time to invest in these characters just to see them being cast aside.

Not sure I agree with this. People invested in Ros and Lucas despite knowing they'll probably die horribly at some stage... What it does is provide the writers with a challenge to create characters that draws us in despite us knowing they're destined for a terrible fate.

But I do agree that the killing off of the main characters have become a bit blase. We are no longer shocked by it, in fact we now expect it to happen.
