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 the 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 those in the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation for the acronym “OBE” is “Collected by Events.” The opening credits feature the series’ characters and scenes interspersed with mirrored panels. Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet,” described the intelligence game as a “desert of mirrors,” a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the title means “little old man” in Greek and the poem is an interior monologue that recounts 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 distinguish between reality and its reflection, a kind of illusion, as if we were in a “hall of mirrors.” Games on 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 casting is absolutely incredible. There we find Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere and Katherine Waterston. This casting is reason enough to give this series a try and it is a very good series on top of that. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this series and most of the cast nominated for awards as awards season approaches. The series is about a CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his life as a secret agent 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 mission. If you are a fan of spy thrillers or a good police series, give this one a try. You won’t be disappointed.
