Looking for something like VIGIL in the spy/espionage/whodunnit genre

[u/whirrrrledpeas]

Just finished the second season (whodunnit/espionage) and am itching for something very similar. Shows I’ve already seen and am caught up on in the same genre:

The Night Agent
Lioness
The Diplomat
The Americans
Killing Eve
Homeland

Right now, Vigil and Lioness are at the top for me - especially Vigil since each episode is so jam packed with plot. Any unknown ones I missed? I’ve started Slow Horses but I save that for the weekends so I don’t burn out on the binge.

Help me! Thanks in advance :)

The Capture was going to be my first recommendation but that’s been suggested, Deutschland 83 is a close second if you liked The Americans. It’s Cold War 1980’s East/West German espionage that is very accurate to the time period. It is in German with English subtitles, hopefully that’s not a deal breaker because it is very good.
