Spooks! Bah humbug

[mandragora]

I hate, hate, hate sheer stupidity amongst people who are meant to be intelligent.

I suspect that's not the reaction TPTB were hoping to elicit, but I was sadly unmoved by tonight's dramatic happenings. Because the stupidity. It burns...

is it any good?

Usually, yes, it's very good. Even tonight's episode had some excellent parts if you ignore the fact that one character was so incredibly stupid (and she's normally so intelligent, too).

Yes - somebody described it as dark deadpan hokum. Well, it is - all Bond style gadgetry and glossy spies but then it confronts 'real' issues, like shoot to kill policies on terrorists, and doesn't give saccharine answers. So watch it! But don't take it at face value because they'd be mortified if you did!

But we're well into the season so ask around if it's not making sense!
