Spooks is great! One of my favourites. Didn't think anyone here would have known it though ((Which in hindsight seems rather stupid of me, as we're all so diverse and cultured!)).

Robin Hood is decent, but yes, it's aimed squarely at my generation. Sadly, my generation isn't as smart as they think us. At least, some of my former classmates weren't so smart. For example:

"I get it, it's supposed to be about the war ((In Iraq)), but seriously, it's heavy handed that they changed the story and made Robin just back from a war in the middle east, innit?"

Me: /facepalm.

So, updates? Anybody read this thread and check out the set? My curiousity has been peaked.

Edited: Just realized my poor timing. If its just coming out today permaybehaps this was a little pre-mature. I'll try back later :)

Man, I just watched the first ep, and yeah baby, this is the real deal! My only gripe- I want more Bruce Campbell; he's just a supporting character, not a star here...
But if ya told me it was written by Joss hisself, I might have just believed ya, it's that tightly scripted.

Go for it.

I might have to get the USA Network on cable now to see the new eps starting in July...

Watch a few more episodes Chrisisall, Bruce's character gets more important as the series goes on, and in the season finale' we see how close he and Michael really are!

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

Cheers for the mini-review.
That's enough to convince me, I'm off to order it now. Might even treat myself to express delivery so I get it in a couple of days rather than over a week.
Even more stuff to watch!!

Just watched the second ep...

Select to view spoiler:

the Cagney & Lacy gag was not wasted on me, heh heh

And the quality remains consistent with the pilot. The commentary, while short, is good & funny. Bruce set loose is a thing of beauty.

I smell feature film material here, boys.
Another point- the lead actors aren't little children (no twentysomethings), something an Obama-aged dude like me can appreciate.

Fourth episode was merely great- not excellent, but even that had excellent moments.

It's like a more mature MacGyver set in Miami Vice locals, with a violent version of Maggie from Northern Exposure as an on again off again love interest. And Bruce, of course.
