Spooks.

I am watching it right now.

At first I used to think this program was mediocre and pretentious. But now I think it is a clever, realistic (well a bit ;) ), tense and interesting drama series about Mi5.

What are your thoughts on it?

I loved the episode where the woman got her face put in the deep-fat fryer!

Only thing ever on tv to shock me!

Generally though it's ok.

An excellent program in my view, that started well in seasons 1 and 2, and then since season 3 has marched on & up

i liked the first series but tv shows rarely hold my attention after much more than one series. especially when they kill off most of the original cast that i'd got used to. a new cast makes it a new program just with a similar premise and the same producers and sets and directors and whatnot. i can't be arsed sitting through more introductory episodes of a program i've already watched a season of.

'specially since everyone thought she was going to be a main character. they killed her off in one of the first few episodes. damn shame, cuz she was hot too.

Yup, that was completely unexpected.....yeah she was hot, but it was a great death scene so kinda worth it! :p

It's on SVT here, but I gather we're a few seasons behind. Hence I can't really say anything about the current state of the series. The episodes I've seen here have been OK - a bit too favourable of the British government line and I missed a few things here and there, such as criticism of certain Gestapo/STASI-like methods, but it's a "don't think, just watch" type of show, so I guess that's par for the course.

i'm watching "a girl's guide to 21st century sex" on channel 5. it's hilarious, it's basically porn with blurry bits and factoids, blatantly not aimed at girls in the slightest.

My TV is tunned in wrong, so 5 always comes on first. There has been too many times when I have switched on my TV to see some horrible plastic surgery show with all the nasty gooey bits. You should avoid channel 5, it's just sick.
