Another One Bites the Dust!

Wow, they are dropping like flies at MI-5. It seems like at least 2-3 agents get killed off every season. I was happy with Danny and Fiona getting exterminated, as they were annoying. However, Colin was always a good guy and a team player. Killing him off was just unneccesary.

Even more ridiculous is that over the past season, the MI-5 never have communications working when they need them. So it creates dangerous situations, but it also makes MI-5 look like a clown show that buys their comms at Radio Shack. The constant bad comms is getting old, and very predictable.

Gas and Oil: Part 1
Prismark1021 October 2020
I thought the finale for series 4 was flat. Series 5 though opens with a tense story.

Britain is experiencing devastating terrorist attacks including biological warfare. There are gas and oil shortages, hospitals are under pressure.

The Prime Minister is also under pressure and Harry Pearce suspects that a coup is underway with shadowy people from business, media and the security services.

Adam Carter survives his injuries from the previous story. However one operative loses their life in this one.

It makes the stakes personal for the Spooks team. There is a tense finale as a third terrorist attack is underway but this time the target could be Harry.

The episode introduces Robert Glenister in the regular role as the Labour Home Secretary. There are some excellent actors in this story from Roger Allam to John Castle.
