MI-5 (first aired on the BBC as
Spooks), takes an admirably understated approach to its depiction of the British domestic intelligence service. Unlike the martini-soaked, gadget-driven fantasy of the Bond franchise,
MI-5 doesn't induce the adrenaline rush familiar from watching Bond parachute off cliffs or ski down mountains. Instead,
MI-5 offers a low-key ensemble that cracks mysteries in less than an hour, more in the style of
CSI, but with less gore.
The spies on
MI-5 are more Miss Marple than 007. A little dull, but compelling nonetheless. The
series' Stateside success might depend on whether or not viewers can understand this new breed of secret agent, or if most prefer their fictional spies to be hyper-sexualized, thoroughly outfitted with gadgets, and living constantly on the edge.
