A world of even deeper intrigue and subterfuge ensues, with characters fighting their own battles as they face existential threats to the nation and the world.

The way a police officer becomes an agent (or informant or confidential informant) is 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 “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 feature characters and scenes from the series interspersed with mirrored panels. Former CIA Director of Counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet”, described the intelligence game as the “Wilderness of Mirrors”, a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the title is Greek and means “little old man” and the poem is an interior monologue that recounts the opinions and impressions of an old 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 distinguish reality from its reflection, an illusion if you will, as if one were in a “Hall of Mirrors”. In The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see movie for anyone who loves spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely incredible. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. That cast is more than enough reason to give this series a try, and it’s a great show to boot. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this series and most of the cast nominated for awards come award season. The series is about a CIA covert 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 are a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series, then give this series a try. You won’t be disappointed.
