Parent reviews for MI-5

I really like the show so far. Not sure why the ratings don’t include “NUDITY”. In Season 2 episode 4 there is a scene in a strip club where strippers are shown straddling men with their bare breasts in their faces. In Season 1 there is a scene where they show a man pulling up the skirt of a woman and her bare butt is clearly displayed. I’m only on Season 2 and am enjoying the show but wish they could leave out this type of gratuitous material.

Absolutely gripping! Couldn’t tear myself away from it!

I REALLY enjoyed this show until I realized that the main characters get killed off every other episode! Also VERY Violent! I’m still traumatized a decade later after the episode when the female Is killed by being put in a vat of acid...alive. Eesh...stopped watching it then. LOTS of torture scenes. Great story lines but not for me! Not for kids either!

This is a fabulous show that is incredibly well-made and well-acted! It is also absolutely not appropriate for kids. I have seen every episode and can say that most are disturbing or graphic. Many are also touching. The good guys are fully developed as people who care deeply about their country and risk their lives for it; they are also deeply flawed people. Characters the audience loves and cares about are killed off regularly. There are often very violent episodes and it is very realistic. The main scariness comes from the intensity and realism -- the safety of the public is in constant jeopardy, which can be very disturbing even to adults. Also, please note, that sex is a major issue. Though infrequent, some episodes DO feature full nudity (both male and female) and sexual activity. Most episodes of this program are not for kids.

I love the quality of this BBC production. Very realistic, and not over the top in any way. Obviously not for children. I wish American TV producers could come up with an action show this addicting
