I generally like a well done spy show and the ones I listed are those I just happen to have found and enjoyed.

Anyone who has any really good recommendations let me know what they are and I will put them on my list.

Pine Gap.
Wanted.
Secret City.

Stawka większa niż życie (More Than Life at Stake, Stakes Larger Than Life or Playing for High Stakes) was a Polish black and white TV series about the adventures of a Polish secret agent, captain Hans Kloss (real name, Stanisław Kolicki, codename J-23), who acts as a double agent in the Abwehr during Second World War in occupied Poland.

Sorry Cosby, I Spy didn’t make the list.

I would recommend “The Americans”. The full series is available on Amazon Prime.
It is about a couple who are deep cover Soviet spies in Washington D.C. in the eighties. It is one of my favorite series that I have watched streaming. Great acting, great characters, and really riveting stories.

Burn Notice.

[BenLurkin]

Missed it by this much

Archer!

Perhaps the only vanity post I have found worthwhile. Thanks.

I don’t know whether it ranks as “best”, but I watched Rubicon which was so convoluted that I wanted to watch it again... and I can’t find it anywhere. https://couchpop.com/tv/rubicon/ says it is not available on Amazon, Hulu or Netflix.

There was an old series in 1978 that ran a while called the Sandbaggers. It was pretty interesting.

MI5 on Netflix is pretty good.
In typical British fashion, they knock off the main character(s) after about 8 episodes. We were shocked. Not like 24hrs, where you know that whatever happens, Jack Bauer ain’t dyin’.

The Bodyguard (British 6-part series on Netflix)

Versailles (period piece, 3rd season, Netflix)

[Yo-Yo]

Counterpart was very good. My wife and I kept referring to the two worlds as “East Berlin” and “West Berlin.”

Does Orphan Black count as a spy series? If so, it was fantastic!

[BamaBelle]

I also love the spy genre. Counterpart was good. I loved MI5. Oldie but goodie...La Femme Nikita. Homeland got boring after a bit. Love your post as I’m always looking for new ones to watch.

The Punisher, though it’s Marvel comics, is entertaining.

On Netflix.

[onedoug]

“The Professionals” (British, 1977-1983)

Bodie & Doyle were the ones.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Agree with “Turn”. I only watched bits and pieces of it but it was really good and historical. I need to go back in and watch again.

Americans is excellent as well.

It has been accurately pointed out that “Burn Notice” has gratuitous bikini shots but in its defense was set and shot in Miami.

[Dutch Boy]

My favorites are La Fem Nikita (Peta Wilson version), The Avengers, and my guilty pleasure was Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp. I am sure there are others that I have long forgotten.
