Spy Wars

Having watched Damian in various roles this series concentrates on spys and spycraft. This is a great series and Damian narrates this series well. Binged watched this on history. Hope for a season 2. If you like shows like homeland, the Americans and false flag this is up your street

Very annoying use of footage of the Russian flag flying when the action takes place prior to the fall of the USSR. Couldn't they find stock footage of the Soviet flag?

Very interesting real cases, and Damian is doing a very nice job as moderator. Its not focusing on one timeframe like the Cold War, but enters different espionage cases. Thats actually some recipe to attract many viewers and its so deserved. Give it a try, its more than worth it.

Wow!

I thought this was just going to be another dramatized show with actors, but while it is that, they also get first hand interviews with key people who actually were involved with the remarkable stories of these intelligence operations.

Amazing stuff - really brings history to life.

Great show!

We're already big fans of Damian Lewis, not only for 'Band of Brothers' but also 'Homeland' and 'The Baker' (also known as 'An Assassin in Love').

This is an excellent series, taking a provocative spy story and researching and re-enacting it superbly to explain as much of the circumstances that can be shared. Unfortunately, some of the information is still classified; but they provide as much of an account as possible. While I am familiar with many of the stories already, I still learn new facts about them; and Lewis presents them wonderfully.

Overall, a highly recommended documentary series that proves the truth can be much more interesting and exciting than fiction!
