So this week's episode of
Spooks: Code 9 wasn't great. Last week's episode had Jody Latham to add some interest, this week's episode sadly revolved around fembot Rachel and her "dead behind the eyes" stare. She's sucking the life out of Charlie too, slowly but surely.
The adorable Jody Latham (Lip from
Shameless) guest-starred in last night's episode of
Spooks: Code 9 which made me rather happy. I thought it was the best episode yet, and it's repeated on BBC3 this week if you missed it. Of course, you can also catch in on
iPlayer too.
Last night saw the opening double bill of
Spooks: Code 9 on BBC3. I
recapped the first episode for you earlier today, but now's time to look back over episode 2's events. I can't wait to read your comments on the episode, but for now here's my thoughts:
- We focus in on Jez in the opening moments as he heads over to a woman's house for a booty call.
Wow,
Spooks: Code 9 began with some thrills and spills, as well as a rather bleak view of the future of the UK. Code 9 is a nuclear attack in London that happens in 2012, and one year later a crew of six good-looking young people are put together as a new MI5 team to fight the terrorist threat. If you want to find out more about the premise, then check out
my introduction to the series, but here's my thoughts on yesterday's opening episode (my thoughts on the second episode will follow this afternoon)!
- Right, so in the Code 9 nuclear bomb blast in London over 100,000 people are killed, and even more are dealt a death sentence from the radiation.
Whether or not you've watched Spooks, you might be interested to hear that a spin-off of the show (no knowledge of the original series required) is beginning tonight on BBC3 at 9pm, featuring a young fresh set of cast members.
Spooks: Code 9 is set in 2013, one year after a nuclear bomb blast in London that kills thousands and thousands of people. Here's
how it's all set up:
In the wake of the attack, MI5 must completely restructure and establish field offices across the UK, working to gather intelligence from the very heart of local communities.
