don't be conned into buying or watching this deadbeat series
i was so glad that i didn't pay a dime to watch this horrible series, because i borrowed it from the library. but even without paying, i quit after the 1st disk. i've tried to watch the second one, but simply couldn't tolerate it. it's a torture. just a bunch bureaucrats tried to bully each other with arrogant poker faces with a small chain-smoking softies coded themselves 'the sandbaggers', sitting around in a shabby room, 'yes, sir' this, 'yes, sir' that to their long faced superior, an often frustrated and helpless bureaucrat, who was trying so hard to keep his small organization survived the shovel or blames from other british powerhouses. a pathetic series tried to cash in the cold war era. there's little actions but occassionally similar deserted and barren landscape telling you that's the border to the russian territory. one or two so-called 'sandbaggers', most of them were not fit for fieldwork at all, occassionally running in this area tried to escape the chase of some russian border patrols. mucho jargons threw around in the series, cia this, mi5 that, foreign office this, kgb that, you name it. this is not about the cold war between the russia and the west allies or natos, or the spy, the espionage, but the cold wars between the british bureaucracies, tried very hard to 'sandbagged' one another, blamed the failures, the $$$$ups to others. there's nothing worth watching in it at all. i just wonder how could some guys would claim this is the greatest spy series ever made. try to read some of the great titled books amazon.com offered instead:'there's no spy', 'the spy who got away', 'the last spy', at least there might have certain spies in them, not just 'pencil pushers' or 'bean counters' those field agents usually called their supereiors(of course, not in their faces). i rest my case.
