10 espionage series with intrigues at the height of the ‘Pegasus case’

In addition, the complex plot of the ‘Pegasus case’, which has a lot (almost everything) to say about it, could perhaps lend itself to a series of several seasons; It’s also to be seen whether it’s in the form of a political sitcom in the ‘style’.rustle‘ or dry journalistic drama in the vein David Simon. In the meantime, we can immerse ourselves in a dozen espionage series, sometimes technological, sometimes Israeli-related, that can always be watched on stream.

1. ‘Final warning’ (2007-2013)

Technically it’s not a TV show about spies, it’s about a former spy: We meet Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) when he was sacked as a CIA officer and stripped of all credibility, prestige, and identity. He goes on missions on his own in his hometown of Miami as he investigates who ‘burned’ him and why. The show is as distracting as it is educational: Westen frequently takes over the camera to explain what the spy’s job, equipment, and tactics are. matte nix It was here that he created the missing link between ‘The Rockford Cases’ and ‘MacGyver’, where James Garner worked as a private detective in Malibu. Suitable Disney+.

2. ‘Homeland’ (2011-2020)

Of course, it should always have ended with its first season, where it became a critical and popular favorite thanks to its masterful mix of political conspiracy suspense and (damn) romantic drama. Former POW Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) had to detonate his bomb vest, and with him the possibility of a future with CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes). But for the rest of the seasons there were still glimmers of emotional reality; so left Mandy Patinkin Like Saul Berenson, former head of the CIA’s Middle East division. Available on Disney+.

3. ‘The Americans’ (2013-2018)

matthew rhys Y Keri Russell It shone here in the 1980s as Philip and Elizabeth Jennings, a Russian spy couple on American soil. It was not just espionage, but the secrets (of all kinds) we kept and how they affected our relationships: the marital drama in disguise, the dramatic thriller, and vice versa. Its success (critical, above all else) should have spurred the adaptation of the Israeli “Tagordin” in the short-lived “Commitment,” about a CIA analyst (Gavin Stenhouse) who discovers that his parents are spies for Russia and is recruited. again for a terrorist mission on American soil. Available on Disney+.

4. ‘The Office Insider’ (2015-2020)

Behind this amazing array we found Eric RochentInspired by two real operations of the Israeli intelligence service, he is the director/screenwriter of a movie to claim and save the ‘Patriots’ (which some platforms have decided to buy the rights for). The title office is the department of the French General Directorate of Foreign Security (DGSE) responsible for the training and control of all undercover French espionage agents around the world. It featured the filmmaker in its final episode, starring and occasionally directing a busy Matthieu Kassovitz. Jacques Audiard (‘A Prophet’) as the master of ceremonies. Suitable Movistar Plus+.

5. ‘Patriot’ (2015-2018)

To prevent Iran from nuclear proliferation, secret agent John Tavner (Michael Dorman) must infiltrate a Milwaukee industrial pipe company with very limited government protection. That almost seems like a normal proposition, but Tavner is a singular protagonist: he records folk music under a pseudonym because it helps his feelings, but lately these have become more revealing and revealing than his patrons would like. They say, say and do nonsense in the most serious manner, which is extremely funny on the show. The first theme songs are of course folk music: ‘Train song’ by Vashti Bunyan! Suitable Prime Video.

6. ‘Girl with the Drum’ (2018)

After the success of ‘The Night Manager’, his sons Simon and Stephen Cornwell John le Carre, they’re back to make a great mini-series out of a daddy classic. It’s not the first adaptation of the 1983 book: Just a year after its release, the movie came with Diane Keaton. Here is Florence Pugh (‘Midsommar’ protagonist; Yelena Belova for MCU fans) playing actress Charlie, who was persuaded by two Mossad agents (Michael Shannon and Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd) to infiltrate a Palestinian terrorist group planning to attack Europe. directs Park Chan-wookSouth Korean master of ‘The Handmaiden’. Suitable hbo max and Movistar Plus+.

7. ‘Deep State’ (2018)

In this one-of-a-kind cross between ‘Homeland’ and ‘Revenge’ saga, Max Easton (Mark Strong), a former MI6 spy, returns to work mainly to avenge the death of his son Harry (Joe Dempsie), but gets involved in the end. A far-reaching conspiracy involving the CIA and MI6 to profit from the chaos of the Middle East. One day, we’ll judge his acting seriousness in a fair measure. Strong, colored with a closed feeling that is not always remarkable. Other hooks of the series are the variety of locations or the tense aspect of Robert Connolly a few years before the famous ‘Drought Years’. Available on Disney+.

8. ‘The Spy’ (2019)

Sasha Baron Cohen (alias Borat, Brüno, etc.) put his funniest face aside to embody Eli Cohen, the famous Egyptian spy recruited by the Mossad in the early sixties to train as an agent, infiltrate the Syrian government, and provide valuable information. Created, written and directed by the miniseries. Gideon Raff, an expert in espionage: he was previously responsible for “Hatufim”, the Israeli TV series that gave birth to “Vatan”. We don’t see the same technology as this in ‘The Spy’: in these times microphotographs could cross borders in export vases. Suitable Netflix.

9. ‘Tehran’ (2020-)

The first result of the long-term agreement between Apple and ‘Fauda’ lead author, Israeli Moshe Zonder, was this massive espionage thriller filled with suspense and good stuff. Good bet: The series made history last year as the first Israeli series to win an Emmy for Outstanding International Drama Series. Also protagonist, revelation new sultanwas awarded by the Israeli television academy for her role as Tamar, a Mossad hacker who infiltrates her hometown of Tehran as a flight attendant to help blow up an Iranian nuclear reactor.

10. ‘Slow Horses’ (2022-)

With his famous Jackson Lamb book series, author Mick Herron has shaken dirt and reality into British literary espionage. The series meets its criteria: oily Gary Oldman In it, the leader of a group of MI5 agents, where only the dirty work is done, or rather, driven into a decrepit purgatory that is just gray, shines as the aforementioned Lamb. Young River Cartwright (Jack Lowden, ‘Dunkirk’ pilot Collins) will try to escape it all by solving the kidnapping of an Anglo-Asian college student by the far-right group Sons Of Albion.
