I binged watched Season One of "The Bureau" on AMC+ this weekend and found it to be one of the best "spy" series I've seen since "The Amerikans"!!! Simply put, this is an outstanding drama from France about counter-terrorist/intelligence agents working at home and abroad for the government agency DGSE. While some may compare this series to "Berlin Station" too, I actually found it even more compelling. Even though I had to initially struggle with subtitles, after awhile I became so engrossed in the stories, it wasn't a bother.

The first season introduces us to the French intelligence officer Malotru, who returns to Paris after six years of undercover work in Syria. The spy struggles to forget his undercover identity, train a young recruit, and investigate when a colleague disappears in Algeria. Great writing, acting, direction, and spot on when dealing with both the trade-craft of these agents and the political environment they operate in. I can't recommend this series highly enough, though you may need to sign up to the streaming service (AMC+), if you're not already a subscriber. There's five seasons of this series and I can only say it'd be worth subscribing only to watch this series, then (if so inclined) cancelling.

Sounds great! I'm a streamer. Looks like it is available on Amazon Prime.

That said, check out the old BBC mini-series Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy. And then, follow that up with Smiley's People.
