Plot-holes

It also fundamentally alters the way in which we have to conclude the Spooks-universe works. We have spent nine seasons investing in, engaging with, and familiarising ourselves with the operation of this universe. We are drawn into a dramatic environment in which highly committed, necessarily anonymous, men and women are brave, resourceful and selfless against a background of creatively sourced, intelligently interpreted, well-communicated information. Season 9 leaves us to conclude that, actually, MI5 is staffed by sleepwalkers and that intelligence is just a. n. other noun. It wasn’t only the character of Lucas that was undermined by season 9, it was the believability of the sustaining environment of the Spooky-verse. That’s a pretty big plot hole, I'm afraid

This is my biggest issue with Series 9.

This storyline of Lucas being so good at what he did that he fooled everyone didn't just end up making MI5 look like complete morons and idiots, it makes the whole intelligence community look like fools!

How am I to believe that one man managed to throw off the scrutiny of every single intelligence community (the British, the Chinese, the Russians, the Americans, and so on) in the world for 15 years and it takes one little newbie just less than 5 seconds to find out the truth????

The Russians had him for 8 years and they didn't find out anything?!?!? I mean, seriously!!!!!! Are they just that stupid?!??!
