Craving some spy action? There are just 10 episodes in this third season of the U.K.'s popular and acclaimed espionage series MI-5 (known as Spooks in its country of origin), but there's more intrigue on hand than most TV action/dramas (or feature films, for that matter), and the sheer volume of extra features will definitely please devotees of this excellent program. If volume 3 is your introduction to MI-5, the opening episode, "Project Friendly Fire," is a solid crash course on the heights of suspense and plot twists the show undertakes on a regular basis: agent Tom Quinn (Matthew Macfayden from Pride and Prejudice) has disappeared after shooting his superior (Peter Firth), and his teammates must not only clear his name but save MI-5 itself from a government investigation. From there, MI-5 ratchets up the tension and action in each episode: the team tackles an extremist faction that has disrupted Middle East peace talks and now threatens British officials ("A Prayer for My Daughter"), a hacker bent on destroying Britain from the inside ("Outsiders"), and a kidnapping plot that forces new agent Adam (Rupert Penry-Jones) to make a terrible decision. In short, it's superior action-adventure television that certainly gives Stateside series like 24 a run for its money.
For series fans, volume 3 offers a staggering amount of supplemental features on the season, its performers, and the creative forces behind the show. Featurettes on the directors of each episode are included, as are interviews with cast members on their careers and characters, and series creator David Wolstencroft, who discusses the program with other writers from the program. Ten minutes of deleted scenes, a gallery of images from the season, and commentary on each episode (from producer Andrew Woodhead, director Johnny Campbell, executive producer Simon Crawford Collins, and cast member David Oyelowo, among others) round out the extras. Oh, and if you can't wait to find out what happens in season 4, there's five minutes of speculation from the cast and crew. And like all good spy stories, you'll just have to wait and see who's telling the truth. -- Paul Gaita

Season 1 and 2 were amazing. This season was so dull I had to skip episodes (most particularly episode 7). I do not like Adam Carter nor his idiot wife. Tom, Zoe and Danny are a one of a kind team. I will definitely skip seasons 4-6 as it obviously looks very annoying. I'll be back with seasons 7 and 8 with Richard Armitage. This show is definitely rated on the actors they have chosen. Adam Carter and this team are very bad.

I have now been through all 7 seasons of MI-5(Spooks) that are available in the US. I think it's the best spy-action-suspense series of all time. Unlike 24, it is consistently plausible. I say to
myself after every episode, "yes, this could happen." There are always surprises and they rarely stretch credulity. And the casting, with all the changes, is remarkable. It seems that what start
out as replacements always take you in quickly. The best of the best is Season 7 Episode 7. It rises ... Read More

I purchased this set for my husband who is a big fan of the MI-5 series. He said it was so good, he was afraid to watch the next series because he didn't want to be disappointed in comparison. Well, he watched volume 4 already and is looking forward to the next.

MI-5 follows a small team of intelligence career officers in Britain who must leave their personal lives at home to protect Queen and country. This is a taut, superior drama series which makes cop dramas from America seem flabby. Intelligently written and clearly designed to be addictive for those who like their tv uncensored and adult, the stories of MI-5 reflect today's current political dilemmas, terrorism, economic turmoil, and inter-agency competition. The "spooks" (the series original title in ... Read More

To be a CUTE actor is not enough! Matthew MacFadyen is HOT! Bring Matthew back! Please!
I have already sold the third series of Spooks and are not buying the rest.
The first two series will always be in my DVD collection.
