The Agency

Post by Ensign9 »

The French series on which this is based is highly regarded (I haven’t seen it yet) so I gave this a whirl. It’s fine but a lot of it strains credulity. If the actual CIA is conducting sensitive intelligence briefings in windowed offices, we’re in trouble.

Martian (Fassbender) seems terrible at his job. And the show commits the cardinal sin of involving a character’s child in the precedings. No thanks.

Yeah there’s so much wrong with the technical writing aspect of this. Fassbender’s character is the worst spy ever lol

Also why do all spy shows now have to have music that is similar to James Bond theme songs?
