You guys have too much time on your hands being able to watch all these shows. I watch maybe an hour of TV a day. But then again I'm either at an AA meeting, at group counseling or one on one with my therepist or shrink. OR going out for date night with the wife.

I will second that recommendation.
Season 3 just released this past weekend. Very good psychological thriller.

Season 3 of The Fall was superb... :ok

That put us in the mood for more BBC crime/suspense/drama, and we came across another really good one:

MI-5 (Also known as Spooks)

It ran from 2002-2011; it has an 8.3 IMDB rating, and the early seasons (We've just watched Episode 1 of Season 2) feature Matthew Macfadyen (Inspector Edmund Reid from Ripper Street) ) as the lead agent...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160904/

All 10 seasons are available on Hulu....(There are 86 total episodes)
