Scary in a way of which George Orwell may have approved, this 2012 British TV series follows spy Sam Hunter (Melissa George) in a no-exit dystopia populated almost exclusively by spies. Sam is a loner and a hunter (two excellent spy qualities) and good at her job, but her agency — a Big Brother-like organization called Byzantium — seems to have turned against her. She spends most of the series running for her life and dodging surveillance cameras. Very contemporary.
