The way a social worker becomes an agent (or informant or confidential informant) is by the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail)Ego. During a dialogue from Mars, in a conversation with Dr. Blake, the acronym "OBE" is incorrectly interpreted as "Overtaken By Events." In US government agencies, including the intelligence community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official acronym for "OBE" is "Overtaken By Events." The opening credits show the characters and scenes from the series interspersed with mirrored panels. 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 T.S. Eliot poem called Gerontion (the name is Greek for “little old man,” and the poem is an interior monologue recounting the opinions and impressions of an older man describing post-World War I Europe through the eyes of a man who lived most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of intelligence, when you’re looking for the truth, it’s hard to tell the difference between reality and its reflection; it’s an illusion, like you’re in a hall of mirrors. The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jaylen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see for any fan of spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely incredible. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. These cast members are reason enough to give it a chance, and besides, it’s a really good show too. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show and most of the cast nominated for some award come 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 mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or good mystery series, give this one a try. You won’t be disappointed.
