Story
It follows a world of even deeper intrigue and subterfuge, with characters fighting their own battles while confronting existential threats to the nation and the world. From X-Men: First Class and “The Acolyte”; to The Cotton Club, see the TV and film roles of “The Agency”; starring Michael Fassbender, Jodie Turner-Smith, Richard Gere and more.

Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet”, described the brainteaser as a “Wilderness of Mirrors”, which was a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S.

In the world of Intelligence, in search of truth, it is hard to tell the difference between reality and a reflection of it, an illusion if you will, as if in a “Hall of Mirrors”…
it would put a damper on any enjoyment of this
I don’t understand all the negativity in the reviews, yes the pacing isn’t in Bourne territory, but it is suspenseful, fabulously acted and keeps your attention. Fassbender is excellent again and unlike most spy dramas it is actually quite believable. I haven’t seen the French original before this so forgive me if I don’t make a comparison but it would be a shame if there is any negative comparison.
but honestly I don’t see any problem with it
Perhaps the pacing concerns come from binge-watching culture, it is probably slow if you want to watch multiple episodes in one sitting. Please don’t let any of the negativity stop you from watching, it’s well worth your time.
