My recruitment - Lester Freamon - 26-07-2010 05:58 PM
I was recruited by Spooks earlier this year when I was given the season 1 DVD set for my birthday - I've been hooked ever since. I really can't believe I missed out on seeing it from the start!! I've always been a fan of the spy/thriller genre and love long arcing TV series (and obsessing about them). I finished season 5 last night and was very disappointed that my season 6 order from Amazon didn't arrive this morning - I'm not working this week and I was looking forward to hopefully finishing this set too (whether the kids will let me or not is another matter!!!).
Looking forward to sharing Spooks with you all.

Welcome to the forum! I've really enjoyed watching mos of the series all at once on DVD. It makes for a very interesting experience.

Thank you.
I've really don't know how I coped before TV DVD box sets and Sky +. I've experienced much of my favourite TV through the medium of DVD (The Wire, Chuck, The Unit) rather than catching when first broadcast.

Welcome Lester. I take it you don't work for Baltimore police anymore?
Enjoy series 6.

Good catch Tea Lady ! - it took months for someone on one of the 24 forums to spot where my handle came from - I think Freamon would certainly be an asset on The Grid - his approach to Police work is very similar to that of an intelligence analyst.

I agree and he also makes pretty good dolls house furniture as well.

Yes, certainly not that much of an action man but a very perceptive shrewd investigator with the little character touches (a bit like Malcolms choral singing) that make for quality TV drama. This is one of the reasons I love Spooks - I have always been a big 24 fan but find the characterization, plotting and realism of Spooks much more compelling - it's intelligent TV (like The Wire) but still with the fast paced action as well.
