Spies of Warsaw is a British television miniseries that premiered in 2013. It was produced by the BBC and was based on the novel of the same title written by Alan Furst. The show is set in the years leading up to the Second World War and follows the lives of two spies, one French and one German, as they navigate the complicated and dangerous world of espionage.

David Tennant plays Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier, a decorated French soldier who has been recruited by the French secret service to collect intelligence on the German army. Janet Montgomery plays Anna Skarbek, a talented lawyer who is also a spy for the Polish government. Marcin Dorocinski plays a high-ranking German officer, Heinrich von Schwaben, who is involved in a plot to invade Poland.

The show takes place in Warsaw in 1937, just before the outbreak of the Second World War. At this time, tensions are rising between Germany and the rest of Europe, and there is a sense of unease and uncertainty in the air. The show perfectly captures the atmosphere of the time, with its dark alleys, backroom dealings, and looming threat of war.

As the story begins, Mercier is sent to Warsaw to investigate the German military's preparations for war. He quickly becomes infatuated with Anna, who is also in Warsaw on a mission. Despite their different nationalities, the two spies begin a passionate affair. While Anna is initially skeptical of Mercier, she soon comes to trust him and relies on his help in her own investigations.

Throughout the series, the tension between the two countries escalates, and Mercier and Anna find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations. They are constantly watching their backs and trying to stay one step ahead of their enemies. As they work together to uncover the German's plans, they become embroiled in a web of deceit and betrayal.

One of the strengths of Spies of Warsaw is its attention to detail. The show is set in a time when espionage was less reliant on technology and more on human ingenuity. Spies have to rely on their wits and their ability to read people. The show does a great job of bringing this idea to life, showing the audience how spies have to be constantly aware of their surroundings and the people they meet in order to succeed.

Another aspect of the show that works well is the chemistry between the two lead actors. David Tennant and Janet Montgomery have great chemistry, and their characters' relationship is one of the highlights of the show. They are both conflicted characters, torn between their duty to their country and their love for each other. The tension between them is palpable and adds a layer of emotional depth to the story.

Overall, Spies of Warsaw is an engaging and well-made miniseries that successfully captures the atmosphere of a tense and dangerous time. With its great performances, attention to detail, and gripping storyline, the show is sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

Spies is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (18 episodes). The series first aired on September 29, 2013.
