Shows like Lioness

If you're drawn to Lioness, you'd likely find similar ground in The Agency, NCIS: Los Angeles, or Homeland—each explores how deep-cover operatives fracture under the weight of sustained deception, where emotional entanglement with handlers or targets becomes as destabilizing as the missions themselves. Killing Eve offers a leaner, more psychologically intense version of that same dynamic, though it trades procedural scope for intimate obsession between two people. If you want the operatives-in-crisis template without the CIA setting, Citadel and MI-5 deliver comparable tension between classified duty and personal unraveling, though neither quite matches Lioness's focus on how female agents specifically navigate that collision.
