The Terminal List: Dark Wolf
This is so full of action, tradecraft, and honestly this dance with doing the right there. There is this constant conversation about "Means justify the end," "Who is the in the right," "How far is too far?"

Surprise, Kill, Vanish
What I really found interesting was conversation about the legality of planning said assassinations. Between the code of military ethics, A.K.A. the Liber Code, and NATO's Article 51, the idea of self-defense, there is a lot of weird wiggle room that the CIA and DoD operated in.
TV
The Agency
The acting is superb. Jeffrey Wright is easily one of my favorite people in this show. Michael Fassbender and his accents are so good. He very much feels like the secret agent and spy that he is. I do appreciate the shrink calling out Naomi for some of her annoying traits, and then there is Gremlin
TV
Lioness
This show is infuriating. There are so many things wrong with the gun fights, the Lionesses, the demographics, and writing. However, it is a wildly entertaining story that you enjoy because the season is short. Only 8 episodes, therefore there aren't a lot of filler episodes which is so nice.
Books
Black Site
This was an interesting book that presents what could be the truth about how the CIA saw their role when dealing with "Guests." Its ability to talk about the judicial search for what was legal and required of the CIA when conducting interrogations.
Movies
13 Hours
The acting from the primary cast here is so good. John, Pablo, and James are outstanding. This movie alone shows how underrated Pablo is. He also is the number one provider of outstanding military humor starting with a story of a Commander's beret.
TV
The Recruit
This show was recommended by a couple friends of mine because "it is funny and good." The best word I have is that it is "Entertaining." Overall, the story is good and interesting, but the amount of things that would not happen or happens because X is stupid is over the top.
