If you like John Le Carré, you will love Slow Horses. Share your cerebral spy fiction recommendations.

article image placeholderSlow Horses - Wikipedia
John Lacarere is the gold standard for spy novels. Tinker Taylor Soldierspy is not just a great spy novel, it is from the best novels ever written, period. His whole quest for Carla trilogy with Tinker Taylor Soldierspie, honorable Schoolboy and Smiley's People created a world of amazing characters and deep plot lines. And the chess match between Smiley and his Soviet counter to pardkala is played out with incredible subtlety and pulse pounding tradecraft

I think she's one of the best actors out there. So the combination of her with that kind of gritty oldman character, I just love the show. I love the hero, the underdog heroes. I didn't know there was a season two. I'm so excited and I wish I knew this week, but I guess it just dropped. But I will definitely watch it

But Rubicon definitely hits a thriller and sort of set in this world of spies and spy craft. And since you're talking about Slow Horses, which is based, you know, British spy drama, there's a great series a few years ago, The Man Who Became Bond

Deborah, I've got some good news for you. There's not only a season two, but there's a season three. And they've commissioned a season four, according to one report. So I can't confirm it. I'm not an insider, but it does look like as if Slow Horses has been a huge success. And I'm not a bit surprised. I've just reached the end of season one
