DVD Reviews of MI-5, Vol. 5 (5 Discs)
DVD Review: BBC America's Hidden Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
MI-5 (known as "Spooks" in its native England) is the most underrated shows on television. It is superbly well-written, cast, acted, directed, photographed and edited. The stories, which reflect current political realities, are exciting and often thought-provoking, and the personalities and personal lives of the main characters are woven into the plot with imagination and poignancy that makes CSI and Mad Men seem like cartoons.
It's simply amazing that BBC America has pulled this show from its schedule for poor ratings. It's the perfect tonic for the millions awaiting the return of "24."
It's slightly disappointing that there are no extra feature on these disks. I'd have loved to hear interviews with the writers and actors. But the shows themselves are well worth the purchase!
DVD Review: Great show, bizarre political correctness
Summary: 3 Stars
Great action and acting, but just a bizarre fantasy world ideology when it comes to picking villains. (I say this as a Nader voter.) Is the real threat these days Christian terrorists? Israeli agents killing Englishmen? Even more Mossad agents? According to this show it is. Classic case of "Oh no! Mustn't feed stereotypes, must instead choose totally implausible PC villains."DVD Review: An exceptional Season
Summary: 5 Stars
The first two episodes are worth the price of admission alone. Much more engaging and intelligent than the usual American dreck. "24" should learn from this show.DVD Review: too expensive
Summary: 2 Stars
The price of this product brings the rating way down. Don't expect the usual 22 shows you get from most usa products. The content of the show is very good! I believe there is only 12 shows and yet you have to pay twice as much. Another ripoff! DVD Review: MI-5 Will Grab You
Summary: 5 Stars
MI-5 is a gripping look at the world of espionage and protection of the "homeland" (England, in this case). Scenarios are "real-world," often ahead of the headlines. I hope the U.S. Homeland Security/FBI/CIA folks are watching this series to learn some lessons! The writing and acting are top-notch, leaving American TV serious in their dust. There are enough relationships to assure us that the characters are real people, but the situations and challenges of protecting Great Britian from its enemies (including the U.S. from time-to-time) are very realistic. I hope that this series will continue for many years.
