Shadow ManSeason 1, Episode 1 - Part 1

In 1940, Churchill enlisted novice spy Bill Stephenson to run a covert network of 1,000 agents - mostly young women - operating out of a New York passport office. Their mission: spread disinformation, undermine pro-Nazi sympathisers, and manoeuvre the US into the war. Illegal, unconstitutional, and in violation of American neutrality laws, the operation would ultimately become the forerunner of the CIA.
