CIA is currently streaming in Australia on Paramount Plus, and in the US on fuboTV and Paramount Plus Premium, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. Its 9/10 TMDB score, built from 103 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Tom Ellis anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Put it on tonight on Paramount Plus and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, CIA earns its spot. At its heart, CIA understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. When by-the-book FBI Special Agent Bill Goodman is loaned out to a clandestine CIA/FBI task force, he finds himself teamed up with secretive and roguish CIA case officer Colin Glass. Together they work covert operations in New York, uncovering international plots, terrorist cells, and geopolitical secrets. Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. It was aired in 2026. The plot mechanics of CIA never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. This is the rare one where the reputation undersells the reality.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, CIA delivers. Fans of Criminal Minds will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Tom Ellis carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

CIA is currently airing new episodes, created by Dick Wolf, David Hudgins, Nicole Perlman, David Chasteen and Warren Leight — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
