Spies or heists

[altariel]

I do like Spooks, yes I do, but it's just not Hustle, is it?

I thought this was signalling some kind of maturation process whereby I was moving on from the grayscale world of spies for the more chipper world of nicking things whilst wearing smart suits, but then I watched the last two episodes of Reilly: Ace of Spies and all seemed to be back to normal.

Heists win, without question.

I dropped Spooks a couple of seasons ago, but I liked this two-parter a lot. I like Anna Chancellor a lot, and the tired-looking woman who took the piss out of the Roger-Scruton character. She was great, but I forget the actor's name.

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.
