It follows a world of even deeper intrigue and deceit, where the characters struggle on their own while battling existential threats to the nation and the world.

The caseworker becomes an agent (or informant or confidential informant) using the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCommitment (aka Blackmail)Ego. During Marciano’s dialogue with Dr. Blake, the acronym "OBE" is incorrectly interpreted as "Overtaken by Events". In U.S. government agencies, including the intelligence community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official acronym for "OBE" is "Overtaken by Events". The opening credits feature characters and scenes from the series interspersed with mirror panels. Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet,” described the intelligence game as a “desert of mirrors,” a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the name means “old man” in Greek, and the poem is an interior monologue that tells the views and impressions of an elderly man who describes Europe after World War I through the eyes of a man who lived most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of intelligence, in search of truth, it is difficult to distinguish reality from its reflection, an illusion, if you will, as if you were in a “Hall of Mirrors.” The Graham Norton Show stars: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jaylen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see for any fan of spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely incredible. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. That cast is reason enough to give it a chance, and it’s also a pretty good show. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show, and most of the cast, nominated for some awards come awards season. The series is about an undercover CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his secret life behind and return to the field with his ex-lover (Waterston), who he’s still in love with. His love for her starts to interfere with his real life and mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
