If you’re looking for a bingeable series, The Diplomat on Netflix is very very good. (And in season 2 you get bonus Alison Janney).

Incredible story
THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.
It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
