MI-5 Volume Seven stays true to form as the award-winning intelligence drama returns for more highly topical stories with new castmember Richard Armitage (Robin Hood, North and South)! The BAFTA- undercover operations and double-agents, this time with an added danger… a deepening schism with Russia raising new Cold War tensions. Newly free after eight years in a Russian prison, Lucas North (Richard Armitage) is welcomed back by MI-5 supremo and old friend Harry Pearce, who was instrumental in finally securing his release. Lucas is keen to get back to work straight away and, with Section D’s current priority operation having a strong Russian connection, he could well prove invaluable. But, after eight years with only a high ranking Russian spymaster for company, can Lucas’s loyalty really be taken for granted?

I have enjoyed all 7 seasons of MI-5 on DVD of which I purchased each season separately except for this season of which I got from [...]. This special set contains seasons 1-7 and I only paid $105.00 with free shipping and the quality of the dvd’s are excellent with full menu’s and crystal clear sound and widescreen picture as in the regular dvd’s sold stateside. I would highly recommend buying this full season 1-7 set than shelling out 40.00 or more for each season separately. I originally bought the set as a gift and to see if the dvd’s were the quality as advertised, they are.

Excellent series, will please those who want to see, fictionalized, of course, one the best intelligence service in the world at work.
Better than the highly acclaimed “24″, because it is not just an action show. Well written stories, with more emphasis on characterization and team work. Dealing with the full spectrum of these days complicated and global political issues, and bringing in other intelligence services: MI6(SIS), CIA, FSB/SVR, Mossad, ISI, etc.
For those who have never seen it, try, for instance, Season 5 Episodes 6 and 7 “Hostage Takers”.
Most unfortunate it is not available on American TV anymore. Viewers prefer “24″, I suppose. I also like “24″, but i feel “Spooks” is more diverse, and offers better scenarios.
Many past and current episodes (including Season
can be found online with some patience. They are available on iTunes UK (a UK based credit card is necessary). I recommend buying the DVDs from Amazon UK, because they are released sooner, and may be cheaper (a PAL/NTSC multi-region player is necessary).

I love the Spooks series and wish I lived in the UK so I did not have to wait for season 8! In this season we see the introduction of Lucas North (Richard Armitage) – who has been in a Russian jail for 8 years (I would spend those 8 years with him myself!).
The suspense throught out all the episodes is very good and what I like about this series compared to any in the US is that they are quite realistic – the acting is not over the top or situations that are just not believable as they do in 24. Everybody who has has role in Spooks 7 plays it to perfection.
Where can I sign up for Season 8?

We have just finished season 7 of MI 5 and anxiously await the season 8 release. We have a love/hate relationship with this series. These are some of the best actors around, it is tense and driven for the full hour (45 minutes if you watch it on TV and not DVD British release) adrenaline pounding but….they have this propencity to kill off the characters each season. It is maddening when they do this but then they introduce a new lead person and they turn out to be even better. This is how the show has evolved and they have done a terrific job of integrating the new lead person (s) each time. Be ready to be shocked with almost each episode as you are always wondering will they really kill this character off!!

After a bit of research, compare MI5 with UK Spooks=Same identical product. Cast, content,production, and available many months ago. This series deserves more than Kudos. Consider this: If you have all the information that is available to the public regarding that which we are experiencing internationally then this series will demand your attention. How can the subject matter be entertaining?? Well after you watch this epic a few times I would hope you will understand the respect I give to all those who portray the reality of our times. I have watched this series from inception. Now I understand this series will never end, the need to maintain those with skill and talent to let us feel safer on this planet is necessary as the idiots who believe terror brings rewards will not end.
