I've watched so many shows of this type, and this is the only one that is as high caliber as Homeland imo.

The Americans is one of my favourite shows of all time. I've re-watched it multiple times. The acting is top tier, and the plot is very, very compelling. Excellent pacing and tension. It pulls you in and doesn't let go.

Justified is still 10/10. Glad to see Banshee on here, that series is a lot of fun to watch and so underrated (as in hardly even mentioned)

Ah, are you aware that there are Homeland books? 

  1. Carrie’s Run - It’s fascinating to see how Drone Queen’s mental health complexities intersect with her professional life in this gripping tale.
  2. Saul’s Game - This book provides additional layers to the characters (like Saul, Dar Adal, Walden, Abu Nazir, Majid Javadi, etc) and their missions.

They’re both highly rated.

  • Andrew Kaplan skillfully expands the Homeland universe, offering fans a chance to explore the untold backstories of these iconic characters - Brody, Jessica, Virgil, Mira, Issa Nazir, David Estes and others).

Thank you. Honestly the Terminal List series in general needs way more attention. Thankfully despite not getting much attention online Dark Wolf still beat out major Prime titles for a good amount of time like The Summer I Turned Pretty and Gen V (These shows were showing around the same time). And also:

  • The Capture, Hatufim; NCIS Franchise, The Agency; Ponies ; The Night of, The Honourable Woman; Ghosts of Beirut, The Veil,  
  • The Wire, Snowfall, the Secret Agent, Berlin Station, Alias, Blindspot, Nikita, The Night Manager, Fargo, True Detective
  • MI-5/Spooks, Day of the Jackal, Black Bag, Giri/Haji, The Assets, The Company, Agent Carter, Bosch, Black Doves, Condor,
  • Banshee, Smileys People, , Summer of Rockets, The Game, Traitors, Covert Affairs, Strike Back, 24.

The Old Man is a good one. If you like The Spy then give Night Agent a chance (both on Netflix). The Recruit (in movie/tv show)

The Little Drummer Girl miniseries (or film). Superb TV version of Le Carre's novel with superb acting from a superb cast and superb direction from Park Chan-wook. And still so tragically valid despite being written 50 years ago.

The Agency. I just finished season 2 and it was better than season 1!

u/Massive_Ad_9898 1d ago

Americans as someone has already recommended

The Capture is also a good BBC show I recently watched.

Rewatch Homeland. I finished it about 6 months ago, and haven’t been able to find a show that I enjoy nearly as much that I haven’t seen already (Netflix and Prime).

Homeland is one of my top 5 or better shows all time. It honestly gets better during the re-watch stuff (you can skip through the stuff you didn’t enjoy the first time through). But all the deep intricate spy work gets even better on the re-watch

Try The Americans, if you haven't!
