Fantastic spy show. Five seasons. Smart, understated, well-written, well-acted, realistic, unpredictable. If you like stuff like the Night Manager you'll love this. I think this is significantly better than the NM imo. Why have you never heard of it? It's French. Who knew the French had good tv shows? Only negative is it might be hard to find.
