Spy Ops is a docuseries now streaming on Netflix produced by Big Media, the same production company behind Spycraft and Hitler’s Gold.
If you’re interested in the world of covert operations, the CIA, or what happened to Bin Laden, this series is a must-watch. From the very beginning, we are introduced to the CIA operative who was tasked with finding and, as he was told, “bringing back Bin Laden’s head in an ice bag.
It’s a treat for news enthusiasts as we delve into topics such as the Taliban, nuclear warheads, the invasion of Panama, numerous special forces, the KGB (yes, with direct references to a certain leader), the Mossad, and even an assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II. The series concludes with the story of a Soviet submarine (K-129) that ended up at the bottom of the sea.
Classified secrets, interviews with special mission operatives and high-ranking intelligence officials – “Spy Ops” provides us with a wealth of information from highly reliable sources. While it leaves many questions unanswered, the series presents us with so much compelling information that it’s hard to ignore.
Yes, Netflix’s programming lineup includes many “trashy” shows and series of mediocre quality, but for series like this, it’s worth every penny. It’s a full-fledged investigative documentary with access to firsthand sources.
Absolutely recommended.
