The series 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. The acronym MICE stands for: MoneyIdeologyCromise (aka Blackmail)Ego. During a conversation with Dr. Blake, the acronym "OBE" is incorrectly interpreted as "Obtained by Events". In the intelligence community and the U.S. government agencies, including the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation of the acronym "OBE" is "Overcome by Events".. The opening credits present the characters and scenes in the series intertwining with mirrored glass. Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the „Poet-Spy”, described the brain game as "a forest of mirrors" Eliot Gerontion (the title is Greek for "little old man" and the poem is an internal monologue about the thoughts and feelings of an older man, described through the eyes of a man who lived in Europe after World War I. For 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, if you will, an illusion, one in a "hall of mirrors".. Featured in The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see for fans of spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely amazing. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. That cast is reason enough to give this a fiver, and it’s a really good show, too. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show and many of the actors nominated for some awards come awards season. The series follows an undercover CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his secret life behind and return to the field with his ex-girlfriend (Waterston), who he still loves. His love for her begins to interfere with his real life and mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series, give this one a try. You won’t be disappointed.
