MI-5 (2001 to 2011)  A

Available from NETFLIX on DVD and Streaming.  40 discs / 86 episodes.  WARNING:  English subtitles are a must for this program.  Cannot use ROKU 1.  Check for compatibility with your Blu-Ray DVD player.

This extensive series of separate one hour shows is about the fringe edges of the work MI-5 performs in England. It's very good spy type entertainment.  (MI-5 is sort of a combination of British military intelligence, FBI and CIA). The action never gets to the level of a James Bond movie or an American Action-Adventure violence film, which makes it perfect to watch just before going to sleep.  If you are into this type of stuff . . . it's good TV.

The series is watchable because MI-5 involves a group of likable UK security agents  who must to lie to the dangerous groups that they infiltrate  and also lie to their families as well . . . to keep themselves undercover.   Rather than some recent undercover spy movies and TV, this series Incorporates realistic cutting edge technology.
