I was absolutely gutted when this show ended! It always had you on the edge of your seat, was very emotional at times, ruthless at others, I will forever scream NO! Sat with my chin on the floor how Adam goes out of the show! If this is actually what it's like to be in MI5 I want a job lol! Forget James boring predictable Bond with the same story recreated for a gazillion films, THIS show is spies at their best
