More info - I haven't seen/read many espionage stories at all and am assembling a list for research for writing. At this point I probably have more things bookmarked than I will actually ever have time to watch/read/listen to.
But I want to prioritize things that people actually like and especially things that are good for my and other marginalized communities. So asking for favorites or "wow, I would love to play in this sort of story" sorts of things, really.
@kara_dreamer Excellent, thank you! I've added both of those to my watchlist and I'm glad to hear they're good choices.
@chaognostica Can't go wrong with le Carre, esp. "The Spy Who Came In from the Cold" (also an excellent Richard Burton film) and "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" (also an excellent miniseries starring Alec Guinness.)
