    • A Spy Among Friends
    • Slow Horses
    • The Ipcress File (both the recent TV show and the 1965 film are great)
    • Traitors (2019)
    • The Night Manager
    • London Spy
    • The Game (2014)
    • Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (both the TV show from 1979 and the 2011 film are great)

    So, no TV shows, so immediate fail, but Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a wonderful film if you haven’t seen it before. Bit of a slow burn though. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. though, much less grounded, but more action packed.

      Both are absolutely wonderful! Tinker Tailor is of course classic and a very good adaptation of the book.

      Regarding The Man From U.N.C.L.E., I went in blind and really enjoyed it. As you say, it’s more an action movie than a nitty gritty spy film, but it’s a lot of fun!
