The Agency is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys spy thrillers. First of all, the cast is absolutely amazing. Starring Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. The cast right there is reason enough to give this a try, and on top of that, it’s a really good show. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show and most of the cast nominated for some awards come award season. The series is about a secret CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his life undercover and return to the field with his ex-lover (Waterston) who he’s still in love with. His love for her begins to interfere with his real life and mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
