I know there are other shows and movies from the Cold War era that depict advanced use of statecraft to achieve political objectives using coercion, while staying below the line that prompts a conventional military response, but I thought it best to start with a series that more closely reflects the current international order. The Netflix series is occupied is a good one to start with.

I'm more than half way through a Netflix series (10 episodes total, not sure if there will be another series) called Occupied, which is about a silk glove invasion and occupation of Norway by Russia to gain access their oil. While the overall scenario seems improbable in this case, since the EU is in cahoots with Russia to some degree, the Gray Zone strategy and hybrid warfare tactics are right out of our current events. The growing resistance emerging also does a good job of depicting the use of social media, and how people perceptions change over time.

Yes most of it is Norwegian, while some parts are in English, but the English sub titles are easy to read.
