Each month I will post Top-5 Lists covering a variety of topics: books, movies, foods, etc. If you have a topic you want me to provide a list for, contact me.
This month, my top 5 spy/espionage TV shows.
DISCLAIMER: There are so many shows. I watched the spy shows as a kid, which might be why I ended up in intelligence. Remember, no show is perfect. Some seasons are stronger than others, but these rise to the top.
The Americans
The Bureau (French – perhaps the best spy show…ever)
24
Homeland
Mission Impossible (1966)
Some of the best classic and “off-beat” shows:
Get Smart
The Wild, Wild, West
Jonny Quest (great theme song)
The Avengers
The Prisoner (1967)
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Very Honorable Mentions (because I can’t list them all):
Burn Notice
Le Femme Nikita (1997)
Chuck
Slow Horses
Archer, and on and on…
