Thursday Movie Picks: Television Edition: Spies


As last Thursday of the month (I can't believe it's August already!), today's Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves, does not revolve around movies but around TV series, the theme being spy TV shows. And the struggle was real! 

Agent Carter (2015-2016)

It follows Captain America's sweetheart Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) as she is relegated to secretarial duties after the end of the war. This show was so good --and so much better than Agents of SHIELD, if you ask me-- it angers me so much that they cancelled it. 

Chuck (2007-2012)

An ordinary geeky guy named Chuck (Zachary Levi) inadvertently downloads government secrets into his brain so both the CIA and the NSA appoint an agent to guard Chuck and they eventually get involved with him in spy adventures. I freaking loved this show and was so sad when it was closed. 


Homeland (2011- )

It follows Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), a bipolar CIA operative who, in season one, becomes convinced an American prisoner, US Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), has been turned by Al-Qaeda and is planning a terrorist attack on American soil, and tries to stop him. I really liked this at first, then they killed Brody and the show slowly started to die. Season 6 was so bad, I stopped watching.
