Fascinating eight part series explores politically controversial events in history
Netflix viewers have been left in absolute awe after watching new docuseries Spy Ops – with some even hailing it as the ‘best’ documentary they’d ever seen.
The eight-parter takes a deep dive into the world of geopolitics, with intelligence operatives from MI6 and the CIA sharing first-hand accounts of Cold War campaigns, spy craft and coups carried out by covert agents.
Spy Ops details politically controversial events, including Operation Jawbreaker – in which US troops swoop into Afghanistan with a mission to take down the Taliban in the wake of the atrocities of 9/11.
Other episodes look at MI6’s attempt to retrieve a Soviet double agent from Moscow, as well as showcase a testimony from a man who planned and attempted an assassination on Pope John Paul II.
