A&E's new series, MI-5 (first aired on the BBC as Spooks), takes an admirably understated approach to its depiction of the British domestic intelligence service. Mi5 DVD Unlike the martini-soaked, gadget-driven fantasy of the Bond franchise, Ncis DVD MI-5 doesn't induce the adrenaline rush familiar from watching Bond parachute off cliffs or ski down mountains. Chuck DVD Instead, MI-5 offers a low-key ensemble that cracks mysteries in less than an hour, more in the style of CSI, Ghost Whisperer DVD 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, Mad Men DVD thoroughly outfitted with gadgets, and living constantly on the edge.
