The Agency | Martian vs Psychologist (S1, E3) | Paramount+ with SHOWTIME

[@brodysdaddy]

This title made me think she was talking to an alien....

[@joyl7842]

I was hoping that would be the case. It would take it to a whole another level.

[@sachinkumarbhoi1672]

😂

[@gillall4828]

Yes! I hope for that. lol

[@dogefromthefuture]

💯

[@tannerdowney2802]

Ok good, I'm not alone.

[@davidking5838]

Fassbender seems to have perfected the art of No blink acting.

[@wideawake5630]

So glad Fassy is back. I missed him.

[@clivebroadhead4857]

Tony would be proud.

[@BobStein]

But there was that little flinch of a micro-expression when she finally caught on to him. 1:35

[@richmonksgtr]

Clive Owen has entered the chat. 😳

[@cujimmy1366]

Psychopaths don't blink.

[@unclefatbloke687]

I am not easily impressed. But that was not only a VERY well crafted scene, it was superbly acted as well!

[@Auntkekebaby]

Great scene. Well written and executed

[@MarcosVieira22]

Guys, "Martian" is the agent codename. That's how everybody calls him in the CIA office of the show. He is NOT an alien.

[@Auntkekebaby]

It's so sad that you had to write this. I can't with these comments 🤣🤣 I'm the alien, because I'm not from here with these weird a** comments.

[@orpheus9037]

Might have made it more interesting if he was an alien.

[@leftrom9738]

Lies..

[@benjamingross3384]

The show would be more interesting to me if he was an alien.

Before Harriet Sansom Harris moved to LA, I saw her on the start of her career in an off-Broadway production called Jeffrey in 1993 at the Minetta Lane Theater in NYC. In the Playbill description, that I still have after 3 decades, the author said she was so impressive doing her lines he added more dialogue to her scenes just to get her front and center. She played all seven female characters, except the ghost of Mother Theresa played by a man. There was another actor from this play, Edward Hibbert, was also in Frasier with her. He played in Frasier the Restaurant Critic radio host. BTW, Harriet Sansom Harris most recent great work was in Marvel's Werewolf By Night Halloween Special, too.

[@rickardkaufman3988]

She's also in a bunch of Paul Thomas Anderson's films albeit being small roles.

[@glennbrymer4065]

As a disabled veteran, I agree with his statement. Very concise and sadly true.

[@neologian1783]

I can completely understand how you would find this completely applicable to your own situation. And thank you.

[@MichaelSchrader-n3w]

@@neologian1783 And thank you for your service as well. That is, of course, if your handle is relatable to your profession.

[@apostolia2124]

Only M.Fassbender could act like this, The Agent!

[@50Nobody50]

only him and hundreds of others thru the years.

[@domedwards5256]

I see the devil has gone from being an agent to being a psychologist..but either way she'll "..MAKE YOU A STAR!"

[@saadahmed386]

Haha, wish kelsey grammar did a cameo on this

[@dedmnwlkn5796]

I cant tell if the therapist has that look because shes satisfied that hes nuts. That she knows hes going sane enough to deduce his circumstance, a combination. Or wether he actually is any of those things.

[@lulumoon6942]

Absolutely agree with the 1 Agent theory: SOCIOPATHS on a leash.

[@Sanchuniathon384]

It's literally the "Institute of Dirty Tricks"

[@Maidez09]

The character is the trope “Glad He's On Our Side”

[@theus1861]

She is taken aback with that smile that is not a smile but discomfort and surprise because she has realised that it is actually he who is questioning her. He already knows what she wants, he already knows the answers she wants to hear, he is in command of the booth in that situation and her silence at the end is the confirmation of what he has said. It is difficult to get a clinician into trouble and even less so if he is from an agency but he has succeeded in doing so.

[@krystlea5210]

100 percent NUTS. Can I go now? 😂😂😅😅😅

[@DavidDavid-gc9rm]

After that interrogation in that dark windowless little room ,she left a mark on the chair.

[@PaulMarcX]

Yes, yes, I know everybody said it, but I, too, thought he was an alien/extraterrestrial 🤣 I mean, look at him! No blinking!!

[@hellas_crater]

I always thought the ruthless, manipulative & utterly amoral Bebe Glazer would end up somewhere like the CIA!!😂😂

[@MusicAsWeMakeIt]

It's ironic she's the psychiatrist now. LOL. 😅

[@estherblount6475]

I loved this scene excellent!!!!!

[@alexbracht]

Superb writing and performances from both. Thoroughly enjoyable show!

[@curtisnixon5313]

The truthful aspect of this delivery from my experience is that even though the 'therapy' is meant to be for the patient's benefit, the doctor or psychologist monopolizes the conversation, denying the patient most of the talk time.

[@charlesfaure1189]

CBT dominates therapy due to the profession's dependence on the insurance industry for income. Its purpose is to slap on a band-aid and get the 'client' (the actual client is the insurance company) back to work and off the budget. The therapist has a pre-determined program of 'correcting' the patient's unacceptable thinking and returning the patient to a state of social conformity. Their job is to invalidate any thinking that keeps you from 'fitting in.' So no, they aren't interested in listening to you, except as a means of invalidating what you say.

[@fredericklockard3854]

This may be the first time I’ve heard him with an American accent. Also the first time I’ve never seen him blink 😂

[@jeffislearning]

Bibi Glazer really wants Michael Fassbender as a client.

[@shadowdawg04]

Nice!

[@papabearfox8791]

Such a great actor

[@stacyjpoliticscommunityfai359]

This has been out all of this time and I had no idea.....Now I have a new binge.

[@pspicer777]

Shucks, I was hoping he was an alien.

[@Eye_sky_high]

most unrealistic thing about this scene is that there could be such an incompetent shrink working in CIA or another intelligence agency unable to deal with candidates such as this. The impatience on her part and the dumb smile when he was speaking. Totally implausible.

[@johnc4957]

1:51-2:00 bro please, i pretend to be someone im not literally non stop, its the only way to survive.

[@zpader]

Wow Bebe has changed careers! :D

[@pequodexpress]

What is nuts is people uploading 3GB torrents of these episodes. Please keep torrents under 400MB.

[@aarenfourever]

I've seen one episode of "the agency". I'm not familiar w/that fassbender guy but I like him. Seems like he'd be the perfect "evan smoak" for anyone into the "orphan x" series of action/thriller novels. The best part for me re: "the agency" is the masterful actor, Harriet Sansom Harris...she was MARVELOUS as "Frasier's agent", Bebe Glazer. I thought they'd give Harriet her own show based on that character 'cause she was definitely worth it. 100 percent.

[@l.a.3479]

Bebe! 🤣👹

[@l.a.3479]

[@jelanitarik8452]

“I’m not familiar w/ that Fassbender guy….” 😳 Alien Covenant? X-Men films? Prometheus? Inglorious Basterds? In the last 10 years you had to have stumbled across a film with him in it (even by accident).

[@gregmarsters2434]

The people you would want doing the job have no desire to do that job.

[@efnissien]

Reminds me of my annual work appraisals...

Frasiers agent. Please see the irony with me. 😅

NOW PLAY DISCO ELYSIUM 😂

[@AndreeaCe]

Martian, from Mars, the planet most of us associate with God of War and/or God of Fire. "The blood boils in my veins" that's good, means you're alive.

[@SgtMjr]

I immediately thought of KD6-3.7's Baseline Test.

[@paultimson6674]

Everyone is unhinged slightly. i have not met anyone who is sane yet. Collecting things? troll dolls? to golf clubs. And weird sex kinks. everyone is cracked somewhere.

[@jujjuj7676]

Yea me too, I wanted to see a alien verbally defeat some psychology lady..oh well 😢

[@kman87675700]

This reminds me of Billy Crudups acting as dr john osterman/manhattan for some reason i can't quite put my finger on....

[@gavincross2902]

one of the greatest actors ever....

[@lexzoolia1]

[@A-Tango]

Looks like a remake of the brilliant Le Bureau? (Le Bureau des Légendes)

[@winterbird4447]

Thats what it is!

[@steveclen-murphy582]

I really hope it isn't. When they do that it only serves to dilute.

[@AmanKumarPadhy]

Yeah it is a remake. Bureau was awesome This is fine too, its a diff vibe but not a bad one -- some plotpoints are also diff (diff spy craft tories essentially -- bureau was suria focused, this is focused on ukraine and belarus

[@VandoGrinn]

Would have loved the therapist to be little bit smarter

[@Doomsquad99]

There is something uncanny about the accent his is doing. Its impressive but still something that comes off as just a tiny bit odd

[@Entropy825]

It's weird seeing Fassbender speak with an American accent.

[@nika4843]

Is this not about aliens? Jesus, fix your title. It's been up for 3 days now and the fact that Showtime PAID someone to do this, who likely got an expensive degree, and it didn't even get fixed. Wtf.

looks like a good series. I would think anyone would be happy to have a job. But what do I know, I lived my dreams for the most part, but you never make any money at that. A steady job with money would've put me in a better place financially at my age, but then again, all those wonderful memories of living my dream are still better to me, so i wouldn't trade them.

I don't know what this is, but if its supposed to have anything to do with the above movie scene.........try again.

TRUUUUUUUU shit

[@CR_22]

This has to be the unanimous choice for the most “just ok” show of 2024

[@SoFloCo-ne4rk]

I've only seen the first episode but I thought it was very good. It's not supposed to be James Bond.

[@CR_22]

@@SoFloCo-ne4rkpretty silly thing to say as you’re assuming I’m implying the show needed more action maybe go watch the other 2 episodes and continue to think whatever you want about this just ok show

[@charlottecoles7111]

​@@CR_22 James Bond was an agent. Your comment is the presumptuous one.

[@DrDiabolical000]

​@@CR_22I think it's a slow burn. We don't really know where it's going. I think the focus is more about the psychological toll this job takes on people doing it rather than a specific mission. The show might change gears. They are slowly building up a lot of storylines.

[@denzel1989]

​@@DrDiabolical000exactly about the no remorse they have

[@charlespackwood2055]

Dude, if you have that much foresight and intelligence, you would never have taken the job. Now that you are suffering mental issues for taking the job, you want us to believe that you have like a mental edge, or something?

[@wimmeraparanormal6581]

This is a pure high point of the show.....the 1st 2 episodes bored me so much I gave up on it. It has all the excitement and entertainment of a wet rag....

47 years old Michael Fassbender and his 36 years old wife Alicia Vikander

[@michaelheintzelman1903]

...and their children.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

What is your point?

[@michaelheintzelman1903]

@michaelfoxbrass If you have to ask, then probably you wouldn't understand.

[@geekazoid]

Every time Fassbender gets a new role, ppl bring up a case from 2010 in which his gf was seriously harmed in a domestic dispute involving a vehicle and his reckless driving. The point is to smear him, which may or may not be deserved. His wife is really the best and only judge of that.
