Netflix viewers are obsessed with a brand new documentary which has been hailed ‘riveting’ and the ‘best’ doc they’ve ever seen.
When it comes to factual TV shows, ‘riveting’ is exactly what you want and it seems that Spy Ops is no exception.
The streaming service is obviously home to a whole bunch of mind-blowing and exciting true stories, like Making a Murderer and The Tinder Swindler which explored true crime and a con artist respectively.
Now, viewers are taking a deep dive into geopolitics as Spy Ops is all about the first-hand accounts from intelligence operatives from the likes of MI6 and CIA, who share jaw-dropping moments from the moments like the Cold War to coups carried out by covert agents.

Other moments in history addressed in Spy Ops include Operation Jawbreaker, for which U.S. troops entered Afghanistan with a mission to take down the Taliban following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Meanwhile, other episodes look into MI6’s attempt to retrieve a double agent from Moscow while another showcases a testimony from a man who planned to assassinate Pope John Paul II.
So essentially, this is prime Saturday night binge viewing.
The show has been on Netflix for a week, after it dropped on September 8, and it has already racked up a lot of fans and is in the top 10 on Netflix’s trending TV list in the U.S.
