What did you think about the show, the Spy?
I quite liked it. Cohen did a great job.
9/10 from me.

what i find interesting is the creative decision to leave a xouole of subplots go nowhere. unusual choice. i didnt mind it. did you?
also this show played with the axis in unusual ways. and used unusual lenses. would love to talk to someone who had seen it.

Thanks for mentioning this series , Nora . I haven't seen it or heard of it , but I always enjoy a good spy thriller . I've heard Fauda is a very good Israeli/Arab spy thriller as well . I've been watching some interesting series and movies recently -
Bodyguard - not entirely realistic , but the tension , direction and acting elevate it above a procedural . British dialects make it difficult for a non-Brit to understand though .
Spies of Warsaw - involving true story about spies in Poland , just before the German Invasion in 1939 . David Tenant is a great lead in this , with other good actors too .
Das Boot - edgy spy thriller set during WWII , involving a very tense cat and mouse game among the German military and the French Resistance and Underground . Full of surprises and shocks .
Worricker is a trilogy (this is the first movie) . About a British spy commander who falls out of favor after discovering a serious conspiracy amongst the security cabinet , and causing him to disappear . With Bill Nighy and other good actors , the series is slow , detailed and realistic .
Berlin Station - Definitely one of the very best modern spy thrillers . Very realistic and edgy with a shock ending . Not to be watched at all by novices of the spy genre . You need to at least have watched Bodyguard or similar spy series before this . It is a complex scenario show for which it worked hard for a deserved 10/10 .
