MI-5

Anybody watched this show on A&E. I heard about it from Ain't It Cool News, so I gave it a look, and it's pretty good. AICN called it a UK version of 24, but it doesn't have the suspense that 24 does. However, it's still a good show and I'll definately try to watch it every week. It comes on Tuesdays 10/9 central BTW.

Watched the U.S. premiere tonight as a matter of fact.

Not quite as good as I'd hoped for but I'm still very likely to make it the only weekly show I try to schedule time to watch regularly.

I think tonight's plot was the weakness that left me a bit disappointed but from reading the ep guide I found online, I'm pretty sure I'll be hooked for the next 13 weeks.

FWIW, I'm not a 24viewer but from what I know of the show, I don't really think there's much comparison. More of a UK version of The Agency or even CSI than 24.

Depending on whether I finally catch the two episodes I've missed so far, I'm not sure that Red Cap on BBCAmerica won't turn out to be a better show though. The two-hour pilot rocked.

I'm going to check it out in a couple of hours when they show a replay.
