If you happen to have MGM+, two recommendations, both British:

1. A Spy Among Friends - follows the defection of notorious British intelligence officer and KGB double agent, Kim Philby.

2. Rouge Heroes - charts the creation of the SAS during WWII.

Both 6 episodes of about an hour each. Rogue Heroes will eventually have a second season.

Now to two complaints about tv shows right now:

1. Too many books are being stretched out to 10 episodes when they should be 6 at most or even just a two hour movie. Looking at you, Station Eleven.

2. I'm getting really really really sick of the multiple time line stories where there is the current timeline and then flashbacks that fill in the detail. I guess we should blame Lost, but it probably existed before then as well. But I'm sick of stories that wouldn't be interesting if you knew all the details in order. Also looking at you, Station Eleven.
