Spy Wars

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?

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 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!

Was blown away by the true stories, real footage, real interviews with some of the actual players. The portrayals weren't cheesy and simply illustrated what would have happened in a helpful way. The host, Damian Lewis, did a great job of narrating the episode, and didn't try to inject himself into the action which can be so off-putting. Really enjoyed this season. My WIFE was spell-bound and she doesn't even like spy stories!!!!!
