MI-5 in the U.S.

[Dara Oakwise]

Another US viewer. I caught in on PBS a few times, purely by accident, in sort of a vague "wasn't that the one show I watched?" sort of way. But the superb acting, and bravery in storytelling, finally caught me. Thank goodness for Netflix and youtube! Too bad it never caught on here, but it doesn't surprise me. The underlying background cultural and political shorthand -- i.e., who is the home secretary, and what does he do? Where is that city? Why is everyone wearing poppies?-- requires some catching up. The drama translates easily, but not always the subtlties. Still, it is the only show I'm following!
