A world of even deeper intrigue and subterfuge ensues, as the characters fight their own battles while battling existential threats to the nation and the world. Check out our list of renewals and cancellations to see if your favorite show has made it.. the way a caseworker becomes an agent (or informant, or confidential informant) is through the use of the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail)Ego. During dialogue from The Martian 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 “Overcome By Events”.. The opening credits present the characters and scenes of the series as interspersed with mirrored panes. Former CIA Director of Counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton, also known as “the Spy Poet”, described the game of intelligence as “a Desert of Mirrors”, a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the title is Greek for “little old man”, and the poem is an internal monologue connecting 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, an illusion, if you will, as if one were in a “Hall of Mirrors”. The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jaylen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-watch for any fan of spy thrillers. First off, the cast is absolutely incredible. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. This cast is reason enough to give it a try five times, and on top of that, it’s a really good show. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show and most of the cast nominated for some awards come award season. The series is about a secret CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his life undercover 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 a try. You will not be disappointed.
