Not your typical spy show. Gary Oldman is the head of "Slough House" where the British secret service sends their screw-ups.
It's kind of dark (gets very dark by season 3) but it's probably a better take on 'spy business' than anything like the old show "MI-5", where it's all good buys versus bad guys. So much of what happens (and there is 'spy stuff' going on) is political at the national and office-politics level.
Definitely worth watching, but you kind of have to binge it since it can get kind of complicated. It's easy to lose track of what's going on if you take a break.
