Has anyone been watching Hunted on Thursdays BBC1, 8 part spy drama with hints of 24/Alias/007/Bourne /Spooks Mission Impossible.

It's watchable for the dark evenings and get me going til Skyfall came out. Tonight is Episode 5.

    Yes, I've watched it. Critics have been a bit sniffy about it but I'm also finding it very enjoyable. The BBC know what they're doing timing it to coincide with the release of SKYFALL.

    SKYFALL got a big plug on 8 OUT OF 10 CATS the other night. Countdown's Rachel Riley was a bit condescending toward it saying HOMELAND was better. Different but not better, luv. And at least SKYFALL knows when to end. HOMELAND's getting yet another series. It's in danger of turning into another LOST, going on & on & on & on....

    I didn't really enjoy Spooks, as the surveillance drills were dire, so was nearly put off watching Hunted when I heard it was by the same people. But I have enjoyed it, little bit far fetched, but an enjoyable thriller. Looking forward to tonights episode.

    I was a big Spooks fan so was looking forward to Hunted, so far a little disapointed with it.

    Was a big fan of Spooks and 24 - and am enjoying hunted. Is it set in a London with no cctv cameras with her running all about the place and not being Id'd. All people know it was a woman! Plus every time she snoops around Malahide's desk i think she's going to get caught, but still, gives me my spy fix.

    Got all of them so far on series record... going to start the first one tonight...will let you know what I think.

    Got rather bored of Spooks once Penry Jones left, thought Richard Armatage was a real let down and robotic in his acting. Shame, cause the series 1 & 2 was brilliant.

    Watched the first 3 episodes last night... and I have to say I'm impressed.

    Totally unbelievable, but still a good series in general. And I like Sam... nice to see a girl in the lead for a change.
    (Although I can't help but see similarities between SF and this :)) )

    Anyone thinking of catching up with this... then I would. Certainly entertaining -{

    I'm suprised with all the spy shows of late, Spooks, Hunted etc.
    That No comedian has done a piss-take about security in a shopping centre
    Filmed just like them, (split screen and all ).
