Reply to comment by tombuzz in Cassian Andor: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by PetyrDayne

The Americans is the only other show I know that gets this right: they're not super heroes, they're super manipulators.

One of the consulting producer is Stephen Schiff, who produce The American. He also wrote Andor Season 1 Episode 7: Announcement.

When they first announced andor they said people from The Americans were working on it, i was 100% onboard it from day 1.

I believe the main showrunner left and Gilroy took over very early on, but had already gotten a few people in the writing room.

You should watch the bureau of legends. French show and possibly the best spy show ever, and my top 5 shows of all time.

Homeland season 3 might be a mixed bag but that gave out big Le Carre vibes. Dirty banks, superpower behind the shadow making moves, characters slowly discovering the whole plot. Season 6 and 7 as well.
