I've seen MI5. It's ok.

Britonia is rather pleasant place, but a trip to the bahamas is even more refreshing

Good idea, but MI5 is the "Security Service", MI6 is the "Secret Service", as I understand it. So I think you may have "dumbed it down" a wee hair too much.

Just a small and rather esoteric point.

The writers are American but apart from that, writers of TV episodes are international.

Most importantly however, the creator is American as are the producers.

I must disagree, the most important thing is that it's good.

When I watch TV, read a book - or indeed browse thro' posts on an interweb forum - the most important thing is that the content is good.

I really don't care about the nationality of the creator.

what kind of secret service calls themselves a secret service? should they be called jays furniture removals or something.

It's actually the Secret Intelligence Service. I believe the word secret refers to the nature of the intelligence, rather than the organisation themselves.

Matters of national security (which is primarilly what they deal with) are generally classified as secret.
