Spooks has been going gradually downhill season by season, though admittedly nice and slowly. This week's episode featured a few instances of the characters stopping to emote or pontificate, usually at times when urgent action was actually what was needed. Tom would never have put up with this sort of crap, I'm telling you. Go and watch S1 and S2 right now, if you haen't done it yet. You will then understand how Hustle is just so much dust under the feet in comparison.
