New series out from Amazon Prime and it's a ripper.
I read the books in the 80's
Saw Harrison Ford play the part in the 90's
But this one has been updated is great viewing.
8 Episodes in series one and it's been filmed across the planet.
Tis on torrent or Amazon Prime.
I love them spy shows.

I've watched a few episodes. It's ok but lacks the character depth of Homeland.

Yeah, I quite enjoyed it. Certainly not the worst show out there, and if you enjoy the Tom Clancy novels, all the better.
I agree. The Ryan actor doesn't sell the role for me and at times seems out of character for the plot. Am most of the way through the first season and still just bobs along, no big hook moment yet, a lot of cliches too. will see how season ends.

Geez tough crowd. Critics that haven't seen all the episodes.
Ryan is the guy from the american office show.
Beats Alex Baldwins portrail in Hunt for Red October.
Maybe you should check out Condor.
Based on the Days of the Condor books but again brought up to date.
Very much a lower budget production but currently steaming on STAN.
A new Get Shorty series is about too. Darker but still entertaining. Don't think it's streaming in Oz though.
[edit]
Stan is streaming get shorty.

Counterpart on SBS is a very good Spy/SciFi/thriller.

Counterpart is a year or more old but it looks like there's a season 2 coming in the new year.
More SiFi than Spy.
