But what if a John le Carré-style spy story, something in the mode of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, had a cyberpunk element?
This is the basic premise of the new slick Peacock series, The Copenhagen Test, which drops all eight of its episodes on December 27.
PeacockWritten and created by Thomas Brandon, with additional showrunning from Jennifer Yale, The Copenhagen Test feels, at times, more like a novel than a TV show.
The twists and turns in The Copenhagen Test may not make it the best spy show ever, or the best cyberpunk series, for that matter.
The Copenhagen Test is playing on Peacock now.
