Because you like Fauda and False Flag, your first stop should be Hulus Prisoners of War (Hatufim), the Israeli series on which Homeland was loosely based. Two soldiers return to Israel after 17 years as hostages, but what should be a joyous reunion is also tainted by suspicion and violence.
For something with more visual flair, there are two recent mini-series adapted from novels by John le Carr that fit the bill: The Night Manager, starring Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie, and Little Drummer Girl, starring Florence Pugh and Michael Shannon. Each follows a new recruit a former soldier, a young actress who gets sucked in to a world of international espionage, and glamorous, dangerous globe-trotting ensues. (Both shows aired on AMC; Night is streaming on Amazon, and Drummer is on Sundance Now.)
Theres The Heavy Water War, a Norwegian series set during World War II and based on real events (available on Amazon Prime). Its a little less of the heart-pounding tension and little more of the search for morality.
After all that, you might want a foreign spy comedy, in which case, try Netflixs A Very Secret Service, a French series set in the 1960s that has a sort of Archer-y vibe.
I am intrigued by survival content. I loved All is Lost the first time I saw it years ago and recently watched it twice. Life of Pi and Arctic were also hits. I devoured all the seasons of Alone, and I am even willing to go a bit off course, and let a few interlopers in, as when I enjoyed The Terror mini-series, and Shackleton documentaries. So what could be next? Abby
One of my favorites, and among my most-recommended shows, is The Last Alaskans, a documentary series on the Discovery Channel about the few people still allowed to live in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. While its not strict solo survivalism, its close, and the stunning cinematography is unmatched in unscripted television.
