Another Yank who thinks an American remake of "Spooks" is nuts. What's the point????
It would be like the Brits making their own episodes of "Detroit" or "NYPD Blue."
Silly. . .
"Spooks is known for it's incredibly smart dialogue and hardcore depiction of the lives of spies. Comparisons to Alias and 24 are not welcome - this is a program that shows what the daily hardships and dangerous missions of real intelligence operatives are like. A glamorous, "Americanized" makeover will turn off fans of the original and could sink ABC's version before it even gets started."
Seriously??? You think "Spooks" depicts the lives of "real intelligence operatives?"
I think real MI-5 agents would find that statement hilarious.
