Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of July 18 of 8
Reality Series Binge-Watch of the Week
We're not sure exactly when "Churchill’s Secret Agents: The New Recruits" popped up on Netflix. But it ended up in our suggested programming list over the weekend perhaps because of our love of shows like "The Great British Bake Off" and "Escape to the Country," and we blew through the entire season in a sitting. The gist of the show is 14 contestants undergo the same rigorous four-day selection process as Britain's top-secret World War II spies. They cover everything from picking locks and hand-to-hand combat to survival skills and how to evade detection. Watching the modern-day volunteers take on these unique challenges, move out of their comfort zones, and discover their inner fortitude was both entertaining and inspiring. If you're looking for some history with your reality competition series, this is definitely one to check out.
