The way a Case Officer turns out to be an Agent (or Informant, or Confidential Informant), is through the use of the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail)Ego. During Martian’s dialogue in a discussion with Dr. Blake, the acronym "OBE" is incorrectly explained as “Overtaken 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 interspersed with mirrored panels. Former CIA Counter Intelligence Director James Jesus Angleton, aka the “spy-poet,” described the Intelligence game as the “Desert 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 interior monologue recounting the opinions and impressions of an old man, describing Europe after World War I through the eyes of a man who has lived most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of Intelligence, in the pursuit of truth, it is difficult to distinguish between reality and a reflection of it, an illusion if you will, as if one were in a “Hall of Mirrors.” Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see for any 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 is reason enough to give it a try, and besides, 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 awards season. The series is about 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 starts to interfere with his real life and the mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
