5 Spy TV Shows With 80% and Higher RT Scores to Watch After The Night Agent Season 2
Political intrigue, mysterious murders, and double lives under cover.
It's not for nothing that James Bond has become iconic – audiences are drawn to the closed world of espionage. Personality changes, psychological techniques, secret codes – all this makes projects about spies fascinating.
If you have already watched the second season of The Night Agent, these five series are ideal for continuing the spy marathon.
1. Black Doves, 2024-...
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 94%
The life of a British spy who has been leaking her husband's secrets for years is turned upside down when her lover is killed. Concerned employers send an old friend to protect the woman from possible threats.
Black Doves is a must-watch for several reasons. The most obvious is the duo of Ben Whishaw and Keira Knightley – the actress has not appeared in a series for nearly 20 years.
Second, it's a project from Joe Barton, creator of the unfairly overlooked crime thriller Giri/Haji. Third, British TV legend Sarah Lancashire appears in the show as one of the supporting characters.
2. The Night Manager, 2016-2025
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 91%

An intelligence officer jumps at the chance to use such a valuable recruiting resource. On a secret mission, Jonathan gradually gains the trust of a major arms baron and infiltrates an international criminal organization.
Hugh Laurie, in his first TV role since House, stars opposite Tom Hiddleston 's undercover agent.
3. The Bureau, 2015-2020
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 94%
Guillaume Debailly is a French secret service agent. After several years of operations in Syria, he finally returns to his homeland. However, the transition to his former life is not so easy.
Debailly remains in the role of his false identity, which causes misunderstandings among his wife and colleagues. The most difficult part of the agent's work is not rehabilitation after a dangerous mission, but separation from his beloved Nadia, whom he met there.
