Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, aka “the poet-spy,” described the intelligence game as a “desert of mirrors,” a phrase borrowed from a poem by T. S.

The Agency is a must-see for any fan of spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely amazing. Starring Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. That acting is reason enough to give this a five out of five, and it’s also a really good show. I’m not surprised to see this show, and most of the actors nominated for awards come during awards season. The series is about an undercover CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his secret life behind and go back into the field with his ex-girlfriend (Waterston), who he still loves. His love for her begins 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.
