While the Cold War generated a number of American TV series exploring national security issues in the context of apocalyptic nuclear policies, it was the end of the Cold War that raised issues about the purpose of the security services and saw television series from The X-Files on with the recurring trope of security conspiracy leading to apocalypse.
