It follows a world of even deeper intrigue and deception, where the characters fight their own battles while wrestling with existential threats to the nation and the world..

A case officer is exposed as an agent (or informant, or confidential informant) through the use of the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka blackmail)Ego. During a dialogue from Martian in a discussion with Dr. Blake, the acronym “OBE” is incorrectly explained as “Overtaken By Events.” In U.S. government agencies, including the intelligence community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation of the acronym “OBE” is “Overcome By Events.” The opening credits present the characters and scenes from the series interspersed with panes of mirrors. Former CIA counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “poet spy,” described the intelligence game as a “wilderness of mirrors,” a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the title is Greek for “little old man,” and the poem is an interior monologue that gives the opinions and impressions of an elderly man, describing post-World War I Europe from the perspective of a man who spent most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of intelligence, in the search for truth, it is hard to distinguish between reality and its reflection, an illusion if you will, as if you were in a “hall of mirrors.” As seen on The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-watch for any fan of spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely great. It includes Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. This cast alone is reason enough to give the film a chance, and besides, it’s a really good show. I wouldn’t be surprised if this show and most of the cast were nominated for awards come awards season. The show is about an undercover CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to give up his undercover life and return to the field with his ex-lover (Waterston), who he is still in love with. His love for her starts to interfere with his real life and the mission. If you are a fan of spy thrillers or good mystery shows, you should give this show a chance. You won’t be disappointed.
