I am totally jaded on spy shows

Seems like every new show is a spy thriller. I tried watching Countdown, lost interest. Checked out Butterfly, fell asleep. Watched Assassin...boring.
I did manage to binge watch Peacemaker Season 1, that was fun!

spy shows
I heard Slow Horses is really good, but I refuse to give Bezos my money. The GOAT is Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy and then Smiley's People BBC versions starring Sir Alec Guiness. Watch or read The Spy Who Came In From the Cold first (movie, not show). And then there was what could have been....Rubicon.

Its like every military movie is about Navy Seals.
Its sooo annoying.
I miss the 80s where you heros that were the cooks knife fighting Tommy Lee Jones.
There are 1000x roles in the military besides "navy seals" (in the voice from clerks)

slow horses is hard to stop watching

Slow Horses is excellent and they put out new seasons pretty quickly.
The Agency was a new series this year with Fassbender as the lead. I really enjoyed it. It was a little slow but the story and cast are really good.

Butterfly,
Did start out slow but only 6 episodes was not bad. The ending I was definitely not expecting
Posted on 8/19/25 at 8:50 pm to Gdellinger
No Way Out is a good movie
Posted on 8/19/25 at 8:58 pm to Gdellinger
The Spy with Sacha Baron Cohen

Butterfly
I have enjoyed it so far. It’s not winning awards, but I have not stopped watching it. It’s based on a graphic novel. I like seeing Jin from Lost (didn’t watch Hawaii 5 0), and the daughter has a crazy/hot rating in the danger zone as one colleague ended up finding out. The Actress is 29 or 30, but I was questioning whether she was even her character’s age of 23.

John le Carré (RIP) certainly spoiled us...
