[spoilers] Too many deaths?

[almh]

Definitely it is drama and not a documentary, but then, I wouldn't be as interested in watching a documentary about MI5. I think that the deaths add tension to each episode, anyone can die (except, of course, those whose names are on the cast list for the next episode I really am awful at looking at those...) It definitely isn't how things really worked - for one how awful must the Autumn be for MI5? Constantly having terror attacks and, the favourite of most on here, dirty bombs. I agree lwhite53 that it definitely is a tv show, and so the deaths are what make it a more tension and thrilling show. So I would say, not too many deaths.

I do think, however, if they are going to kill all these people off, they should get someone to replace them. ATM they've lost two field agents (Jo and Ben,) and sort of are one techie down (if we include Colin,) so perhaps the question should be instead of "Too many deaths?" but changed to "Why is the MI5 recruitment for Section D so awful that only five people work in that section at the moment, even though seem to be the only people stopping all these catastrophes on British soil!"
