Spooks: Season 1 DVD
August 31, 2003Keywords: Spooks dvd British mi5 season 1
Spooks is a British drama series about Series B, a counter terrorist section of MI5. This is the best drama series I have seen in a long time and the DVD presents it very well. The series uses suspense, intense music, split screens and realistic scenes to hold it's viewers in a grip (or in the sofa).
The episodes were no surprise as I have seen most of them on TV but the added bonus on the DVD I would like to rave about.
First of all, the standard (boring) menu system has been replaced with an interactive movie of an intruder to the Section B office. You steer him to select audio options, scene index and cut scenes. First time I watched the DVD I actually thought the menu system was the first episode ;-)
5.1 sounds makes the episodes even more dramatic than the TV version. Shame no sub-titles were put on as the dialogs tend to get complicated, especially with the addition of various British and American dialects.
Get the DVD here.

Very interesting! It sounds very similar to "24." I'll have to find out if it's available for purchase in the US. Thanks for letting me know about it!
You have a lovely site, and I look forward to making return visits. :)

The first series DVD is utter crap, total rubbish! Were there any episodes on the DVD's - I did not find any!
Do not buy this DVD set - it is a CON!
