Spooks v Religious Extremists
IanIndependent28 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Another well plotted Spooks suspense thriller. Again some of the narrative details don't stand up to close inspection (Adam as a Syrian refugee? Putting suspects together for interrogation?) but the the build up and the drama worked well and kept me as the viewer wondering what next. It kept me entertained, anyway.

Road Trip
Prismark1025 April 2020
Although we know Adam was a MI6 operative in the middle east.

He is still an unconvincing Syrian refugee. Adam goes undercover to recruit a volatile and deadly terrorist called Yazdi to the British side. They think he is being funded by the crown prince of a gulf state who is on a visit to London.

Adam needs to get close to Yazdi by getting involved in a people smuggling operation. However Yazdi makes out Adam pretty quickly but he does come over to the British side.

It is a case of deciding if Yazdi's conversion is genuine or does he have another agenda. Harry and Adam have doubts but not Juliet Shaw.

The ending takes it's inspiration from a scene in The Godfather III.
