Possibly the best Series?

RE: Possibly the best Series?
There are parts of season 5 I love. I particularly loved the development of Harry over season five - you probably got a better look at Harry the man and his own personal opinions. Harry has a certain idealism that is really quite remarkable.

In 5.1 and 5.2, you learn of Harry's love for democracy, whatever problems he has with it. That wonderful scene when he's across the table from Myers and Millington: "a system that better men than you have died to defend".

In 5.5 his abhorrence for what the modern spy has become to fight terrorist threats: "we find civilized ways, as we have before". (That scene with Mace is one of my favourites in the entire series, two great actors having terrific fun, and a bit of Harry in the field.)

In 5.8 when he says that certain Islamic threats scare him "no more than England under Cromwell". In Harry's book, any injustice isn't OK.

In his heart, whatever protests, Harry believes in democracy.
