TV Show Recommendation

For those who like to watch rather than read, we recommend "Slow Horses”. This is a popular British spy thriller. The show, which stars Gary Oldman (Harry Potter fans would know him better as Sirius Black), explores the troubled lives of a team of MI5 operatives. It is popular as it provides an engrossing story of human intrigue and intelligence operations.

If these recommendations piqued your curiosity, then it is an absolute must-read. We also suggest watching Netflix's highly regarded political drama, Borgen. It is as raw and real as a masterpiece can get!
