September Picks: The Movies and TV Shows You Can't Miss3 of 9
"The Spy" | Premieres Friday, Sept. 6, on Netflix
If every successful comedian has at least one noteworthy dramatic role in them, then this mini-series from "Homeland" writer Gideon Raff will be Sacha Baron Cohen's Eternal Sunshine moment. "The Spy" finds the infamous provocateur take a turn as a Mossad agent who goes undercover in Damascus in the early 1960s. Our first question: How does SBC maintain such quiet control over his projects?? This was nowhere on our radar. The show could be a breakout opportunity for Noah Emmerich ("The Americans"), who plays Cohen's handler. — Arno
