Synopsis
Follows a world of even deeper intrigue and subterfuge, with characters fighting their own battles as they grapple with existential threats to the nation and the world.. From X-Men: First Class and "The Acolyte" to The Cotton Club, check out the TV and movie roles of "The Agency" stars Michael Fassbender, Jodie Turner-Smith, Richard Gere, and more.. The way a Case Officer turns out an Agent (or Informer or Confidential Informant), is through the use of the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail ) Ego. Blake, the acronym "OBE" is incorrectly explained as "Overtaken By Events".
The opening credits present the characters and scenes from the series interspersed with mirror panes
In US Government agencies, including those in the Intelligence Community and Department Of Defense, the correct/official explanation of the acronym "OBE" is "Overcome By Events".. The former Director of Counterintelligence at the CIA, James Jesus Angleton, also known as the "poet-spy", described the Intelligence game as the "Wilderness of Mirrors", which was 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 relating the opinions and impressions of an elderly man, which describes Europe after World War I through the eyes of a man who has lived most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of Intelligence, in the search for truth, it is hard to tell the difference between reality and a reflection thereof, an illusion if you will, as if one were in a "Hall of Mirrors"..
The acting as a whole I give 8/10
Featured in The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The highlight of The Agency is Michael Fassbender, great actor and convincing in his role as a field agent coming home after being undercover for so long. Even the small characters did a good job so far (Apart from these smallest characters trying to be smart). The story is nothing new, but several story lines woven together, not sure where it would lead just yet at the end of the 2nd episode.
The soundtrack, good
So, it’s a good thing, being unpredictable. Nice touch with the song -Love is Blindness. Can see that a good budget went into this, of course with movie actors it’s obvious but more so due to the locations selected and how some of the action sequences were filmed. Seemed like a good movie.
I’m looking forward to the next one
Enjoyed it thoroughly, I might be biased though, Michael Fassbender is one of my favorite actors.
