Binged this (it's only six episodes) on Netflix and really enjoyed it. It's a spy/crime series (two of my favorite genres) with Keira Knightly and Ben Winshaw set in London with lots of fun twists and action, and some great supporting characters and humor mixed in with all the violence. They've already announced a second season.

I feel like I hadn't seen her in a couple decades.
Lots of spy stuff has been coming out or at least making it onto my radar. It must be the wars, but part of me also thinks intel/defense agencies fund them for recruiting purposes (e.g. Lioness, Agency, Seal Team, etc on Paramount+).

On Knightly, I turned to my wife and said how good Keira looks for her age. Then we both realized (after checking online) that she's still 39, instead of the late 40s I assumed. She's just been around forever -- was 17 when she did Bend it Like Beckham, 18 for the first Pirates of the Caribbean.
It wouldn't surprise me if some of the spate of shows are definitely the spy version of copaganda, though as someone who's also just a fan of the genre from reading Le Carre and Deighton growing up, I suspect there's also just a hunger for them in general.

Oh gosh, say no more. I love her. Sass and poise exemplified.
Thanks for the heads-up
