I've sometimes looked to smaller spy film franchises like Michael Caine's work as comfort watching.

I can't recommend enough Ben McIntyre's work "A Spy Among Friends". There is a series adaptation but it's on a premium channel I don't have through Prime.

Hey Vince - My wife and I have become fans of the British Detective shows on Britbox. As intriguing, but somewhat different than the spy genre and offer a span of era's.

First, Happy Anniversary of the release of the fantastic Lose Yourself!

Thank you for your list of spy shows—I too am a fan! The Recruit, Paradise and Lioness have been on my list.

What say you about thrillers? Please tell me you like the psychological thriller You (based on books by Caroline Kepnes.)The 5th season is coming soon! I have watched seasons 1-3 multiple times, and I will rewatch 4 before the final season begins!
