I loved the first season of this show. If this matters, it was produced by Sky and is in English. Stanley Tucci is one of the actors in Season 1. |
| The Bodyguard, about British intelligence. Also Broadchurch, both have Olivia Colman who is really great. |
| The Patriot. |
Where can you find this? |
| Le Bureau (on Sundance available through Amazon) - incredible French series on their version of the CIA. Seriously one of the best shows I have ever watched. |
They are both Amazon Prime video |
| Someone on DCUM recommended Turn- Washington’s Spies (Netflix) to me and it’s great. Love it. |
| OP here--I love this thread! Just finished The Night Manager per one of the first PP recommendations--very good! Now I'm moving through your lists! |
|
The lives of others
Lust, caution |
|
Covert Affairs was pretty good.
Agree Homeland. |
|
OP again--never have I binged so much. Just finished Season 2 of The Bureau. yikes I'm going to have to give up TV for Lent at this rate
Thank you all for your suggestions! I've bookmarked this post and will move through it (but will force myself to slow down) |
The second season of The Missing is my favorite season of any television post Sopranos/Wire/Deadwood even thought I loved The Americans, Bodyguard, Fortitude, etc. |
|
The Last Kingdom
Strikeback |
You're welcome!!! I had a similar thread and learned about Night Manager and Patriot from here. I also watched Broadchurch and the Bodyguard and recommend those if you can stand British accents. |
| The looming tower. I read the book first. It did a good job, while took a ton of liberties, interpreting the book. |
