If anyone here is a wrestling fan the Starz series Heels is well worth watching. Those aren't wrestling fans, I have no idea if you'd enjoy it or not. My husband and I both are, I was in High School and college during the Monday Night Wars.

There appears to be an espionage epidemic!! Everywhere you look some spy shows on every network!! Black Doves is ok..a frail super model is difficult to believe as a badas@ secret agent.. But that said Eddie Redmayne who also looks like a skinny super model is great in The Day of the Jackal..worthy series for sure. Didn't watch the second season of The Old Man despite being a fan of John Lithgow and Jeff Bridges. The Agency is excellent so far, only watched a couple of episodes.. Cast is awesome!! Fassbender delivers..
Jack Ryan was not my thing.. Didn't see any of 3rd season, was impressed that John Krasinski sold the character, I didn't think I could get over him being Jim on The Office!! Pam or Michael Scott being secret agent types would have been too much or if Jack Ryan was home-based in Scranton and had an office in Dunder Mifflin building!!

For those who liked Squid Game, it's back today (Dec 26) for season 2 on the Netflix (and a season 3 is in the pipeline too).
(As an interesting coincidence the NHS in the UK has gone out and warned people for gambling ... life imitating art imitating life ...

It was a great season and we can’t wait for season 3. Same with Alice in Borderlands season 3and Wednesday season 2.

The Agency (a copy of the original French TV series "bureau des légendes" ) is sticking well to the original story line/plot. A few minor changes, Sudan instead of Syria for example. The acting though does not seem as good, although it would be hard to be better as the original is very good.

Really disappointed that the series you suggested is not on my streaming services and it's not available on Amazon for me..

Le bureau des légendes (or "The Bureau" as it's also known) is on Canal+
https://www.canalplus.com/series/le-bureau-des-legendes/h/4847919_50001 as Canal+ were behind the program. Otherwise it's buying the DVD set (on Amazon HERE ). I see it was on Paramount+ but not any more unfortunately. Fandango at home has it (according to MSN - https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertain...ch-spy-series-streaming-in-the-us/ar-AA1wf83W ) but it seems to be cheaper to buy the box set.

Edit- AppleTV+ free this weekend?! Slow Horses is also better then The Agency and should be easier to find online. Gary Oldman is worth a watch.

A drunk old surly vulgar dirty slob, Oldman's character in Slow Horses, seems to be Britain's most beloved character at the moment.
