Netflix has racked up several amazing spy and conspiracy action series over the years.

From rookie spies getting in way over their heads to seasoned agents uncovering massive government cover-ups, here are seven conspiracy thrillers to add to your Netflix watchlist. Here are the the top 3.

The Diplomat (2023)

Netflix

Just when you thought global politics couldn’t get messier, a sharp-eyed diplomat stumbles onto a conspiracy that could blow up the whole international chess board. Keri Russell is Kate Wyler, America’s new ambassador to the UK. With her ex-diplomat husband in her ear, she quickly learns that choosing the wrong words at the wrong time could literally start a war. No explosions or car chases are needed – watching Kate navigate political mind games and international crises is intense enough. The series treats politics as the high-stakes game it truly is, where one misplaced word could trigger an international crisis.

The Bodyguard (2018)

Netflix

The Bodyguard knows exactly how to keep viewers on edge. Richard Madden plays David Budd, a protection officer stuck guarding a politician he might actually hate (talk about workplace drama). The war veteran tries to do his job while dealing with his own mess of personal issues. But he soon uncovers a deadly conspiracy and terror plot involving the person he’s supposed to protect. 

The Recruit (2022)

Netflix

Noah Centineo transforms the spy genre by playing Owen Hendricks as exactly what he is – a rookie lawyer completely unprepared for fieldwork. The show finds its groove in the chaos of bureaucratic nightmares turned deadly, where filing the wrong paperwork could literally get someone killed. Between the office politics and international intrigue, it manages to stay grounded in reality while escalating the stakes to absurd levels. The supporting cast steals scenes left and right, creating a world where even the background characters might be playing their own dangerous games.
