Might I humbly recommend BBC 4's Belgian made 12 part drama series Salamander. It's in French and Flemish with God's language subtitles - and is truly excellent. Shades of Gladio type modern day power politics originating with the Belgian British resistance in WWII through to current day.
I just finished watching [twice!] all 12 parts of this excellent series! I also had the advantage to knowing both Dutch [same as Flemmish] and French, so could understand the original language - always with a little more nuance than the subtitles. Though fiction, it was cleverly written to be quite close to some REAL events in Belgium and NATO intrigues along the line of Gladio and similar. I don't usually watch shoot 'em up thrillers, but this one has real political and deep political history and implications woven in....do watch it if you can! Another important thread is that much of what we see today began during World War II - how true!
