Just another newbie
I am new to SPOOKS/MI-5 but I am hooked. The first show with the anti-abortion leader almost lost me because the U.S. Southern accent on the actress was so...BAD!
Watched Season 1 - 3 on streaming video via Netflix, and then 4 - 6 came via Netflix DVDs. I am on the long wait list for Season 7, but I have been able to catch some sections of Season 7 and 8 on youtube. Editing seems to be alot faster on Season 8 so I am not sure I like that -- plus my American English ear has a hard time following the Brit English. LOL Love the 'anti-American' bent of the MI-5 writers though - CIA personnel are such dweebs on the show. |

RE: Just another newbie
Welcome to the forum!
What do you expect from British writers?  Totally agree with you about the accents, it's something many Spooks fans complain about, me included.

RE: Just another newbie
I am living in Alabama -- it is in the south eastern part of the U.S. -- home of the U.S. Civil Rights movement of the 1960's, and Alabama football fanatics.
My favorite characters from MI-5 are Ruth and Ros - They are written as opposites I guess - but I find them very similar. Series season 8 Spoiler I was sad to see the Jo character exit - but I guess she had no where to go/grow with Ros there. I really like ALL the characters -- they are allowed to have personalities. My favorite epsiode of those that I have seen is Series season 5 Spoiler between the one Ruth left the show the first time on - and the one where Adam and Ros almost drowned in the explosion in the dam area (thought the cinematography was amazing). |

RE: Just another newbie
arattitude, I just added some spoiler warnings to your post. Not a big deal, just make sure you read the spoiler warnings carefully.
Like your choice of fave characters! Ruth and Ros are pretty great. Many thanks to Tyger for a terrific signature |
