For some reason I thought I'd watched Rake but I haven't so I'm fixing that now. Watching from the start, that 2010 pre smartphone pre 4k nostalgia really hits, and it's easily one of the best written/acted ABC series without a doubt
Awesome show, one of my favourite, but skip season 5 and just pretend it ended with 4 seasons.
Ah bummer. Hate it when that happens. I'm hoping s4 didn't end on a cliffhanger or too many unresolved threads...
Season 4 ends nicely, mild cliffhanger, you won't miss anything.
Give season 5 ago, just have a little break first as not to ruin the high of the first 4 seasons.
I'll pretend it was a spinoff written by someone else... For now though it's just such a good watch. I REALLY am feeling very nostalgic for that late 00s/early 10s setting of the early seasons though.
That's a pretty good way to think of season 5 actually!
I love rewatching Spooks for this sort of reason. What tech can do, was supposed to do, and now really does are very different things.
