During the dialogue with Martiana in a conversation with Dr. Blake, the acronym "OBE" was incorrectly explained as "Preceded by Events". In U.S. government agencies, including those in the intelligence community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation for the acronym "OBE" is "Overcome by Events." Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet,” described the intelligence game as “The Desert of Mirrors,” a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot aka Gerontion (the title is Greek for “little old man,” and the poem is an internal monologue expressing the opinions and impressions of an elderly 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, in search of truth, it is difficult to distinguish between reality and its reflection, an illusion, if you will, like being in a “Hall of Mirrors.” Featured in 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, the cast is absolutely incredible. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. This cast is reason enough to give this a try five times, and on top of that, it’s a really good show. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show and most of the actors nominated for some awards come award 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 a try. You won’t be disappointed.
