Narrative
A world with even deeper conspiracies and subterfuges follows, as they grapple with existential threats to the nation and the world, fighting their own battles. Check out their TV and film roles in “The Agency,” from X-Men: First Class and “The Acolyte” to The Cotton Club.
Remake of Le bureau des légendes (2015)
This is the third time Fassbender and Waterson have worked together. They both starred in Steve Jobs, Alien: Covenant, and The Agency.
Bosco gives Ogletree great lines as delightfully as his subordinates chew them
These are heavy-hitting actors, this is no dinky farce, Felicity meets the slow-horse Jackal there. One moment it’s a visual delight, like a music video with a creepy steady camera and expertly framed shots.
Then it’s action
The next it’s a love story. When Bosco flips the bird, it’s comedy.
I can’t get enough
Like the previous show Homeland in Showtime, this one takes the cake for foreign adaptations. When high potential is nothing but formulaic, network TV fodder, this is the juicy stuff you sign up for cable for.
