I Spy Spooks

https://youtu.be/mhF-89FIHcE?si=MXYIbsgtoRqflez2

Found this on YouTube. Hours and hours of full episodes of Spooks, known as MI-5 in Canada should you need a positive distraction and non Ho Ho Ho holiday entertainment right about now.

In case you've never come across it before Spooks is, was, a brilliant British tv show about a team of MI-5 operatives, including their complicated personal lives. The channel is currently sharing season 10.

I've linked the first episode from season 1 above.

Expect to see some familiar faces that went on to major success across the pond in shows like Succession and The Good Wife. The show also pays the viewer the compliment of treating them like they have a brain when it comes to untangling plotlines, something North American shows don't always do.

Also kicking around on YouTube is an entire channel dedicated to sharing all the episodes of the tv show Younger if you're looking for something a little less intense.

Re: I Spy Spooks

We gave ourselves BritBox on Prime as a gift last year, and have been deep into the great UK cop  shows. Found 'Spooks' last week and have progressed to Season 4, as "she" had been on holiday,and we have had a week to binge watch with more to come. As the reviews noted, it is a shockingly violent series at times, where no one in the cast is safe,wjth the original  actors almost gone completely by season five. A lot to pack in fifty minute shows, usually completed in one episode. Excellent acting, tense stories. Well worth the time to watch Spooks, or MI5 as it was called here in NA in it's latter seasons. And the old cel phones they use made me chuckle. Jpegs with numbers . Sigh.
