  "account": "Three shows provide gripping entertainment to follow after concluding Netflix's Black Doves season 2. The first recommendation is Slow Horses, an Apple TV spy thriller starring Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb, the head of Slough House. This administrative purgatory for disgraced spies offers plenty of drama akin to Black Doves. Slow Horses recently wrapped its sixth season and has already been renewed for a seventh and eighth installment. Stream Slow Horses on Apple TV now.\n\nAnother thrilling option is The Day of the Jackal, a 10-episode espionage thriller starring Eddie Redmayne as the titular assassin. The job of taking out tech billionaire Ulle Dag Charles, filled with disguises, languages, and lethal precision, takes a dangerous turn when the Jackal becomes the target of a British intelligence officer. Critics praised Season 1's 85% Rotten Tomatoes approval rating, while viewers flocked to Peacock after its first 75 days. A second season is slated for spring 2027 on Peacock and Sky. Stream The Day of the Jackal on Peacock now.\n\nA third suggestion is The Diplomat, a political drama on Netflix where Keri Russell plays Kate Wyler, the U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. balancing her career with her role at 10 Downing Street. Her husband Hal, played by Rufus Sewell, rises to the Vice Presidency of the United States in Season 4. While lacking Black Doves' spy antics, The Diplomat features political subterfuge, back-channel backstabbing, and international intrigue, earning praise for its fourth season as its best yet. Stream The Diplomat on Netflix now.",
