Spooks

Well done episode 1 of the new series of Spooks, not sucking like the entire last season. Keep it up. (Haven't seen ep. 2 yet, no spoilerisms, plz.)

[livejournal.com profile] kalypso_v: Richard Armitage was in it, handily playing a character called Lucas North, so your icon now has extra applicability.

Ooh, that's a good idea. Working for us (in memory of his parents) or against us (to bring down the system that left him orphaned)?

What did you make of Code 9? It signalled strongly to me that I was not its demographic, and I didn't pick it up.

Wes would appear to be the former, only to be suddenly revealed as the latter at a dramatic plot juncture. Or maybe the other way around.

I have all the Code 9 eps on my Sky+ box, but I haven't got around to watching them yet. It's been a bit difficult to get over the "I'll look at that later" inertia, with all the other stuff I have to watch, and it's not helped that the two minutes of Code 9 I have seen looked more like an episode of This Life than a spy drama.
I am reliably told that a second season of Code 9 is quite likely.

*nods* That pretty much sums up my impression. I think I wanted spy-action rather than soap.
