When it comes to delivering exciting and dramatic espionage stories, few do it as well as the British, as evidenced by the BBC's high-tech spy series MI-5 (known to U.K. audiences as Spooks). And the hit show's second season, which is compiled and well-annotated in this five-disc set, serves up more international intrigue while ratcheting up the drama in the lives of its main characters, most notably team leader Tom Quinn (Matthew MacFayden). Season 2 opens quite literally with a bang, with Tom's girlfriend and young daughter are trapped inside their house with a booby-trapped laptop set to explode ("Legitimate Targets"). From there, the tension escalates in each episode, with the MI-5 team facing extremists ("Nest of Angels"), computer espionage ("Hackers"), and illegal arms trading ("Clean Skin"). But the series' most intriguing wrinkle comes in its final episodes, starting with a visit by the U.S. President, and concluding with a cliffhanger season closer that calls Tom's loyalty into question. Solid performances by the program's cast and intelligent scripting should help boost MI-5's rapidly growing and rabidly loyal viewership, who should also appreciate the extensive supplemental features in this boxed set. As with the previous MI-5 set, all 10 episodes are uncut and presented in widescreen format, with commentary by cast and crew, nine behind-the-scenes featurettes, and two hours of deleted scenes chief among the bonus material. --Paul Gaita

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars "Excellence" (Part.2)" ..........2007-04-17

MI-5 (Vol.2) carries on from where they left off - ie, excellent storyline/script, acting, etc. No regrets purchasing the series.
British television is really "going places"!!!
And now, for me ... on to Vol.3!

5 out of 5 stars a British version of "24".......2007-04-10

This series about the homeland security division of the British government employs the split screen techniques we often see in the States on such shows as "24." It stars Matthew MacFadyen (Mr. Darcy of Pride and Prejudice), and he is gorgeous! His real-life wife is also a star on the show. There are lots of disk extras - deleted scenes, gallery, trailers for other BBC shows, etc. I LOVED THE LAST EPISODE OF MI-5 (SEASON 1)!!! The first episode of Season 2 continues this story. Some story lines reappear in several of the plots. One will find contemporary issues of Muslim attacks, abortion bombings, the IRA's influence, etc. You will be hooked in no time!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Great stuff!.......2007-04-03

Season 2 really hits its stride and is a fantastic show. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Best Show NOT on US Television........2007-03-19

Why, Why, Why does a US cable station not pick up this wonderful show. A&E showed the first 3 seasons but even them, it was when A&E decided and did not really care if anyone watched.

This show, espec. seasons 1 & 2 are miles ahead of anything else on US television today.

My recommendation, buy all 4 box sets, get tons of popcorn and spend your entire weekend watching a 10 out of 10 show.

5 out of 5 stars They do win, most of the time...... but it does get them bloody.......2007-02-13

All of this series from 1 thru to 4 are great. Series 1 sets the scene but as the series develops so does the story line and the polish of the whole thing. This is gripping stuff, well written and well acted and it just gets better. Lets hope that there is a grain of truth contained in this and that our security forces are developing as well as this series.
Can't wait for series 5, please get on with it and release it!
