The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley /Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see movie for all fans of spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is simply amazing. The cast includes Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. This cast is reason enough to give it a try, and on top of that, it’s a really good show. I wouldn’t be surprised if this show and most of the actors get nominated for some awards next season. The series is about a CIA covert agent (Fassbender), who is ordered to leave his secret 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 his mission. If you are a fan of spy thrillers or good detective series, give this one a try. You won’t be disappointed.
