Editorial Reviews

Dubbed Spooks across the pond, MI-5 is the BBC's rather convincing answer to Fox's homeland security hit, 24. The U.S. title MI-5 comes from Britain's equivalent of the FBI, where the counterterrorism unit known as Section B is led by Harry Pearce (Peter Firth), a confident and decisive army veteran whose service in Northern Ireland left him with a strong disdain for bad guys with bullets and bombs. The show's main character is hotshot spy Tom Quinn (Matthew MacFadyen), a focused, dedicated public servant who loves the fieldwork. Quinn's cohorts in high-tech undercover sleuthing include eager beaver Danny Hunter (David Oyelowo), fragile but effective Zoe Reynolds (Keeley Hawes), George Smiley-like Malcolm Wynn-Jones (Hugh Simon), and the crafty cynic Tessa Phillips (American Werewolf in London's Jenny Agutter). The story lines from the first six-episode series collected here focus on explosive situations in the sceptered isle, including run-ins with religious extremists, government corruption, and a nasty IRA faction. Evildoing isn't the only distraction here, though, as the characters enjoy complex and perplexing personal lives, all made less livable by the fact that they're forbidden from discussing their top-secret work. Originally broadcast Stateside on A&E, MI-5 manages the difficult feat of standing out in the pack of post-9/11 espionage programs, thanks to superb writing and performances. The Bond stuff always works better with British accents.
