Spooks

[altariel]

So Spooks appears to have moved on from being merely extremely good to become ABSOLUTELY FRICKING BRILLIANT.

It was a near-future dystopian headfuck! It was so cool! It's what the inside of my head is like!

Wicked, wicked corporate and bureaucratic interests! Brave, brave civil liberties protestors!

Damn, I so wish Robert Glenister was Home Secretary. And, best of all, two characters were forced to call their fathers to account - welcome to personal and societal ADULTHOOD - extra nice touch that Harry was out of commission for most of episode 2.

They even managed to find something for Zaf to do, and they've struggled with that for... ooh, about a season.

Gah! I can't wait to see it. The thought of John Castle and Robert Glenister in the same show is almost enough to make me spontaneously combust.

I was John Castle and thought of you (and he's damn good).

Yay!!! :D I'm not surprised, of course, but it's lovely to hear!

I don't think I can wait until this hops the pond and makes it to US TV. (We've got almost a year's lag. Augh, the injustice of it all!) I may have to see if I can find it somewhere online to tide me over until then. I'm so glad to hear it was so good!

Do you have a way to play PAL videos?

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Alas, I do not. (Woe is me!) Thanks for asking, though.

Ah well, it was definitely worth asking.
