If you're into these types of spy-thriller shows, and can find it, you must watch the French series (English subtitles) The Bureau. It's probably the best ever spy thriller series. 5 seasons deep, covering 2015-2020.

The closest that we get in the USA would be The Americans, but The Bureau goes way further in-depth with the operations and spans various countries from the Middle East and Europe, without the American Hollywood hero crap. Just very well-written, well acted, and even handed.

Rather than the Hollywood formulaic Iran=bad or Syria=evil, "take my word" approach, it shows the layers to regular folks and intelligence operatives existing in those countries with the political backdrops. Highly recommended.

Showtime has just began a complete ripoff of it named The Agency. It's basically the same thing, but instead of beginning with Syria (at that time), The Agency begins with Sudan. Do with that as you wish.

My hoopla doesn't have it. Realized that Paramount+ does have this and can stream. Interesting might get it just to watch this.
