The Agency: Central Intelligence

10 episodes of slow, intellectual bliss about the never-failing CIA and its crew of spooks. Has the odd blip of speed, but mainly a plodding, stubborn show of incredible entertainment.

An absolute stellar cast mixed with wonderful writing create a show well worth watching. Fassenger carries the weight as the star whose fallen inove and teying to balance his private life with the job. Along with Wright, Gere, Waterston, Margaro and Turner-Smith, who all provide great characters, the story is full of informative moments and surprising turns.

Who knows who the good guys are is an interesting question throughout the series, never letting up right up to the final second. Totally clandestine and beautifully mysterious for those who love the spy genre.

Brilliant best show I have watched in a while Really well cast and stylishly done Roll on series 2.

The clothes were fabulous Great pace to it and you needed to pay full attention No scrolling on your phone and semi watching or you were lost Surprised not more talk about this show Can't wait for next series as I said.

For anyone who loves games of cat and mouse involved in the spy world then The Agency is for you. It's not the best spy series that I've seen but it's definitely worth watching. Michael Fassbender is perfect for roles like this, as is Jeffery Wright. The two of them are incredibly underrated actors. Add in Richard Gere, Katherine Waterston and Saura Lightfoot-Leon and you have one of the most talented casts on tv. The show might start off slow for some but stay with it because it does pick up. It just takes its time as it builds its world and its characters but if you don't have the patience for slow burn, well told shows then this isn't for you. The Agency does a great job of showing the cost and the sacrifices it takes to be in this line of work. I hope we get several seasons of this.

The Agency is a remake from « bureau des legendes » , a tv series from 2014-2015 with Mathieu Kassovitz as main character.

Some scenes are the exact same but quickly of course it diverts with a plot more in line with actual geopolitics. The cast is good and it may be for once much more realistic with the operation mode of an agency than many movies or shows on the topic. It starts slow and there would be material for several seasons. Let's see if with time it will be as good as Homeland, although that one had uneven seasons and episodes. Glad to see Richard Gere as station chief, and Jeffrey Wright in a role better than Felix Letissier in the James Bond movies!

The Agency: Central Intelligence is a must watch for anyone a fan of spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely amazing. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere and Katherine Waterston. That cast right there is reason enough to five this a try and on top of that it's a really good show too. I won't be surprised to see this show and most of the cast nominated for some awards come award season. The series is about a covert 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 starts to interfere with his real life and the mission. If you're a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series then give this a try. You won't be disappointed.
