During Martian’s dialogue in discussion with Dr. Blake, the acronym "OBE" is incorrectly explained as «Preceded By Events.» In US government agencies, including those in the intelligence community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation of the acronym "OBE" is «Overtaken By Events.» The opening credits introduce the series’ characters and scenes, riddled with mirrored glass. Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, aka “the spy poet,” described the intelligence game as “The Wilderness of Mirrors,” a phrase taken from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the title is Greek for “old man”) and the poem is an internal monologue recounting the opinions and impressions of an old man describing post-World War I Europe through the eyes of a man who lived most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of intelligence, in the pursuit of truth, it becomes difficult to distinguish between reality and its reflection — an illusion, so to speak, as if one were in the “Hall of Mirrors.” The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jaylon Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see for any fan of spy thrillers. First, the cast is absolutely amazing. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. This cast is reason enough to give it a five-time try, and it’s a really good show to boot. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show and most of the cast nominated for some awards come awards season. The series follows an undercover CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his undercover life and return to the field with his ex-lover (Waterston), who he’s still in love with. His love for her begins to interfere with his real life and his mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series, give this one a try. You won’t be disappointed.
