Sept/Oct UK DVD Releases Reviewed
Sounding more and more like fact than fiction each season, Spooks has returned with this it’s 6th season DVD release. The show, known as MI5 to our American cousins is a television drama set around a group of people working for the British Security Services. Before season 6 each episode was of the standalone variety where only limited aspects carried on to the next episode. This time mimicking 24, Spooks uses the entire season to run just one storyline about a train bomb in Iran, then going to Iran’s attempts to gain nuclear weapons to challenge the west.
There are some nice character moments with a greater overall production quality to each episode than prior seasons. The story is gripping in places and just within in the realms of believability. There are a couple of slow episodes but that can be said of any show. Overall, Spooks season 6 on DVD is a really interesting piece of television, it will take repeat viewings and with an open ending that will be continued in the seventh season showing on the BBC this month it really is an essential watch for anyone planning on seeing the newest episodes on television. Season 5 made Spooks appear as though it was running out of story ideas, some stories were recycled from prior seasons and season 6 could have easily gone the same way. Happily the single story for a season idea has made it truly amazing once more. Spooks season 6 is out now on DVD in the UK.
