No wonder that the former head of MI5 or was it MI6 scoffed at Spooks for its ludicrous description of the lives of spies. John Le Carre has the same opinion of Spooks. By the way I would not call Adam and Fiona relationship successful. It did not end too well for them and poor orphaned Wes. In the USA, where I live and you can guess where I live, most intelligence service officers lead perfectly normal lives among us, their friends, and the rest of the population without being killed or kidnapped. Their kids go to regular schools and their spouses work in regular jobs. Spies would burn-out very quickly if they all lived like Section D. In fact, most often than not, their jobs are boring, collecting information from around the world. Some spies might live in dangerous countries and risk their lives every day. Most of them live in their native country or in friendly nations. As PF remarked, Spooks is just entertainment. I enjoy its plausible and implausible plots and most of all Harry and Ruth, though not the end of 10.6! |
