The Agency (2024) TV Thread

[Scotty G]

The Agency will premiere its first two episodes on Friday, November 29, for US viewers with Paramount Plus with Showtime subscribers, ahead of the show's premiere on cable. For those in the UK and other international locations where Paramount Plus is available, the political thriller is exclusively streaming on Paramount Plus starting November 30.

If this is even half as good as The Bureau, it will be worth watching.

Only spotted this thread. I'm stoked I love espionage stuff, and The Bureau is one of my all-time favourites.

 

[Dylan]

This starts on November 30 with 2 episodes then one released weekly. Looking forward to it.

 

[Ghost]

Watched all 9 episodes so far, been a good series, just shows you don't need all out action to make a good spy/thriller.

 

[Franco Pinion]

Not as good as The Bureau but a really enjoyable series if you like spy stuff. It is a slow burner. Great cast.

 

[Bad Gizmo]

I'm a few episodes into Season 2, good shit.

I finished season 2 last night and thought it was decent enough and left an opening for another season.

Season 2 takes a while to get going, but the back half is excellent.

It's been a while since I watched the French original, but I do remember a great chess-based conversation that was plot-relevant that hasn't been brought into this version.

I think this version isn't as good at showing how the various plot threads link together. Makes me want to go back and watch the French original.
