The recent House episode with the unexpected Kutner angle is the best comparison to what Spooks is like...except Spooks will do that sort of thing season opener, mid season, 3 episodes from the end, the season finale, anywhere.
Very well acted, written, and shot series. Highly recommend watching from season 1 on, well worth the DVD purchase.

I concur! I absolutely love Spooks and have gotten my sister and her hubby hooked on it. It's a TV Show where the story-writters dictate the story not the audience's potential/probable preferences; any character can die or be removed at any point.
