The way a person on the case becomes an agent (or informant or confidential informant) is the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail)Ego. During the dialogue the Martian used in his conversation with Dr. Blake, the acronym "OBE" has been incorrectly explained as « Overwhelmed by Events. » In US government agencies, including the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation of the acronym "OBE" is « Momentous Events. » The opening credits introduce the characters of the series and scenes between the mirror screens. Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, aka the “spy poet,” described the intelligence game as a “desert of mirrors,” a phrase taken from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the name is Greek for “old,” and the poem is an interior monologue about the opinions and impressions of an old man, describing Europe through the eyes of a man who lived in the 19th century after World War I). In the world of intelligence, in the pursuit of truth, it is difficult to distinguish between reality and its reflection—an illusion, if you will, like in a “hall of mirrors.” Hosted by The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see movie for every fan of spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely amazing. Starring Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. That performance is reason enough to give these five a chance, and besides, it’s a really good show too. I’m not surprised to see this show, and most of the actors nominated come during awards season. The series is about an undercover CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his secret life behind 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 his mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series, give this one a try. You won’t be disappointed.
