British Television is worth the wait!

For most British Television series Americans must wait for ages for them to be broadcast in the U.S. and then we are just lucky to have them broadcast at all. In the case of one of my most favorite series, Spooks as it is called in England, MI-5 in the U.S.A, three stations have broadcast it but not on a continuous basis. The problem being that they don't have set requirements for time like the U.S. does. The first two stations that did chopped up the 59 minutes to fit into 45 minute time periods.

It is now on Instant Viewing from Netflix (which is such a brilliant device.) Series 1-3 stars Matthew Macfadyen (Pride and Prejudice, Little Dorrit), series 3-7 stars Rupert Penry-Jones (Persuasion), and series 7-9 stars Richard Armitage (North and South). It also stars Peter Firth (upcoming South Riding) and Keely Hawes (Upstairs Downstairs) It is set in modern day England revolving around the spy agency in England, MI-5. If you love spies and British accents as much as I do, I highly recommend. However, please be aware that there will be deaths, (its about spies). Don't watch if you are wanting a light hearted comedy.

I am personally excited that series 9 is finally on Netflix because I have been wanting to watch it for ages. Those of you who are interested start on series 1 because it all meshes together. Enjoy.
