Only stumbled across this series on Netflix this week from 2019, but really enjoyed it and thought Sacha Baron Cohen was great playing Eli Cohen. Good to see him in a role where's he's not one of the Borat/Ali G characters too.

Definitely worth a watch if you've not seen it. (y)
 
Thought this was going to be about the really funny Sky comedy with Darren Boyd and Robert Lindsay. But obviously not as Sacha Baron Cohen wasn't in it. They only did two series which was a pity as it was laugh out loud funny in places. Lindsay was terrific as the boss mas called The Examiner.

I haven't seen the Netflix one but looks worth a viewing.

This is the other.

It's on my watchlist, so good to know it is decent.
 
He also played a good role in The Trial of the Chicago 7, also on Netflix

It's a drama based on the trial of anti Vietnam protesters and how the US government and a dodgy judge conspired against them.
To be honest I wasn't aware of this piece of ugly US history and well worth a watch.
 
He did an interview on R4 last week. It didn't sound like him, so perhaps it wasn't.
