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 absolutely agree. North America seems to kill it with the bizarre time slots (late night A&E) that DVD purchase is the way to go. The season is a full hour episode of 10 (except the latest season that was only 8). It would be like 24 in the sense that no major character is safe and almost nothing is taboo. Great great series
For those that watch, I still like Tom Quinn the best
