My goto brain vent book series are the Alex Verus books by Benedict Jacka.
It's y/a urban fantasy in London without being too childish or over sexualised.
The ~400 pages each book are easy to read.
On the other hand I currently read "Slow Horses", the book series the AppleTV show is based on. These are stories focused on the worst of MI5 and how they stumble across and solve a case, or prevent something.
If I remember correctly the wachowskis were about to lose some rights to Warner Bros or Warner had to remake to not lose rights or so.
Therefore the one Wachowski sister did that one...
That's similar to a lot of the direct to dvd sequels that are done by disney. They remain to hold the rights.
