MI-5 in the U.S.

[beatrice4ruth]

It does not bother me at all. I am not typical, since I am European.

I can see why major US networks are not broadcasting MI5. It might be hard for most US viewers to understand the historic conflicts that have pitted the various intelligence services, included the CIA, against each other in Europe. It is just too foreign and is no longer current in today's new world, even though MI5 has dealt with China, Pakistan and Iran. Perhaps there is some US-bashing that American viewers would not appreciate.

Though some of the themes are universal, most of them might be too oriented toward MI5's fight against its internal and external enemies. Luckily we have our PBS channels which are very British-oriented.
