Netflix:
Two really good new spy thrillers; both have an excellent blend of drama, action and suspense with well developed characters and unexpected plot twists:
Pine Gap (6 Episodes, 2nd season next year probable)
(It only gets a 7.1 IMDB rating, but I'd give it at least an 8)Set in the hidden world of intelligence, Pine Gap exposes the cost of secrecy and the stress inflicted on nations and individuals when our ultimate loyalty is to our country and not to our partner. When a civilian plane is shot down over Myanmar, the search for the true motive threatens the famously strong American/Australian joint military alliance through conflicting interests, personal ideals. - and one tragic mistake.

Bodyguard (6 Episodes, 2nd season next year probable)
(An 8.2 IMDB rating, well deserved)Bodyguard tells the fictional story of David Budd, a heroic but volatile war veteran now working as a Specialist Protection Officer for the Royalty and Specialist Protection Branch of London's Metropolitan Police Service. When he is assigned to protect the ambitious and powerful Home Secretary Julia Montague, whose politics stand for everything he despises, Budd finds himself torn between his duty and beliefs. Responsible for her safety, is he actually her biggest threat?

Two that I really like and recommend that recently had new seasons dropped:
I've talked about this one before:

The gal pals are back and once again on the run:
Wanted (6 new Episodes)
(7.7 IMDB rating which isn't terrible, but I'd still give it at least an 8)Episode 3.1- Lola and Chelsea are sent back to Australia after being caught by New Zealand police. Weaselling their way out of it once again, the duo set out in pursuit of freedom. However, they are forced to cross a line that means there is no going back.

The next one is a really well crafted Sci-fi show I've enjoyed; great action, character development and suspense with a fairly low "camp factor". Season thre just got released in the past couple of weeks; but I'd recommend watching it from the beginning if you haven't been following it :
Travelers (10 new episodes; 34 total for 3 seasons)
(8.1 IMDB rating; if you like quality Sci-Fi, that has more to it than fighting monsters and non-stop sophomoric sexual innuendo dialog, you'll like this one)Hundreds of years from now, the last surviving humans discover the means of sending consciousness back through time, directly into people in the 21st century. These Travelers assume the lives of seemingly random people, while secretly working as teams to perform missions in order to save humanity from a terrible future.

Hulu:
X-Company (8 episodes for season one; season two has been running on Ovation, there are two more seasons not yet available on Hulu)
If you like WWII behind-the-lines intrigue and suspense, I highly recommend this one. We were going to watch just the first episode last night, but wound up watching the first three. the show will draw you in immediately with it's very well paced action, drama and suspense...
(7.6 IMDB rating; I think it definitely deserves higher)Set in the thrilling and dangerous world of WWII, follows the stories of five highly skilled young recruits, torn from their ordinary lives to train as agents in an ultra-secret facility.

Amazon Prime:
We've talked about this one; the Emmy award winning The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel now has a 10 episode season 2 available:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18866&hilit=The+Mar ... rs.+Maisel
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5788792/
(A well deserved 8.7 IMDB rating)
I don't know what it says ( either about me or about recently produced programs) that of those six shows only one (Mrs. Maisel) is an American production (the others are either Aussie, Canuck or Brit) but Jim Bob says check 'em out...
