A Whole New Spy Game

NOBODY TRUSTS ANYONE anymore. Corporations control the world, conflict is commerce, and shady cabals pull the strings from the shadows. Deep State, a new eight-part, continent-straddling action thriller, tackles this head on, sticking us slap in the middle of a covert intelligence war.

“Politics and business have become interwoven, and to find a script that deals with that was perfect,” says Mark Strong, who plays Max Easton, a British ex-spy thrown back into work. “It makes a difference if you can entertain people but at the same time get them asking themselves some difficult questions, because we’re living in strange times.”
