If you can find it, the series Spooks (which I think was released in the US as MI5), you’ll find a lot of actors you recognise like Matthew Macfadyen, Richard Armitage, Nicola Walker. There were around 10 seasons

Also in French - Le Bureau. Probably my favourite tv series ever

+1 for slow horses

Vigil was pretty good too

In addition to many of the shows mentioned already, Tehran on Apple TV.

Yes to Slow Horses and Bodyguard. Soooo good.

The Diplomat with Kerri Russell was pretty good. Assuming you already saw Homeland and The Americans.

Bumping this up because I was just gonna ask the same question!

The 2011 version of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy." That's the feature film with Gary Oldman--not a series. Also from a John LeCarre novel. Fantastic cast, very understated like the good spy stuff so often is, just brilliant.

--from another fan of "The Night Manager," and my spouse is a LeCarre nut who has seen 'em all (and read 'em all), and he loved this version of "Tinker, Tailor" too

Broadchurch
Bodyguard
Both British shows. Both great.

If you have Apple TV, we’ve been watching Slow Horses and are very into it. The characters are MI5, the inside-the-UK spies, but there are some similarities in feel.

Have you seen Bodyguard and Line of Duty? Both are a bit different in feel from Night Manager but kind of scratch a similar itch. DH and I love that type of show, and those are two of our favorites.

Ooh, wait, no, actually I have a winner! Think you need HBO for it, but Little Drummer Girl was great and very similar in both story and feel. (The recent-ish one with Florence Pugh, not the 70s movie.)

Wasn’t The Night Manager just perfect? I haven’t found anything like it but would also be interested.

I’d love recs for any relatively recent well done spy movies or shows. Thanks!
