If you’re a fan of spy thriller shows, then Netflix’s most recent addition to the category, Treason, should be your next destination. 

Treason is a six-episode show written and created by Matt Charman for the first season. The series joins other Netflix December original releases such as Dead End, Hot Skull, I Hate Christmas, and Smiley, among others.
