What follows is an even deeper world of intrigue and subterfuge, with characters fighting their own battles as they grapple with existential threats to the nation and how a case agent becomes an agent (or informant or confidential informant) through the use of the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail)Ego. During Martian’s dialogue in a discussion with Dr. Blake, the acronym “OBE” is incorrectly explained as “Occupied by Events.” In U.S. government agencies, including those in the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation for the acronym “OBE” is the same. is “Overcome by Events.” The opening credits feature the characters and scenes from the series interspersed with mirrored glass. Former CIA Director of Counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet,” described the intelligence game as the “wilderness of mirrors.” Eliot called it Gerontion (the title is Greek for “little old man,” and the poem is an interior monologue of the opinions and impressions of an elderly man, describing 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 the search for truth, it is difficult to tell the difference between reality and a reflection of it, an illusion if you will, as if you were in a “Hall of Mirrors.” The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see for all fans of spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely incredible. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. That cast alone is reason enough for five tries and on top of that, it’s also a pretty good show. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show and most of the cast nominated for some award come awards season. The show is about a CIA operative (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his undercover life and return to the field with his ex-lover (Waterston) who he is still in love with. His love for her begins to interfere with his real life and mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or a good crime series, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
