‘The Agency’ Series Premiere: Michael Fassbender Is Back on Our TVs

‘The Agency’ Series Premiere Recap

Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney become CIA agents/spies to recap the two-episode premiere of The Agency, the Showtime-produced Paramount+ series starring Michael Fassbender. They start by talking about who the show is for, the stacked cast, and director Joe Wright’s career as a filmmaker (2:11). Later, they discuss how the espionage drama nails its depiction of practical spy craft and the cliff-hanger at the end of the second episode (38:29).
