THE AGENCY - Review (Movie / Series Review Show - Now Streaming on Showtime 2024)

[@ZahraOlaad]

It’s actually really good but difficult to understand if you miss certain parts.

Naw this is really boring straight snoozefest 😴😴😴

Naaa you just too lazy to pay attention - actually very good if you bother to give it a chance

@ 😭😭 I didn’t wanna call them slow bc even I had to research wooden duck references. I wish there was a podcast actually talking about it and breaking down the episodes.

I’m losing interest in The Agency, and a big part of it is the lack of chemistry between Zamia and Fassbinder. Both are fantastic actors and undeniably good-looking, but there’s no spark-no “it” factor. Their connection feels forced, and it’s dragging the show down for me. This reminds me of The Old Man with Jeff Bridges, another series with top-tier talent, where I also checked out because of a similarly cheesy, unnecessary love-interest subplot. The romance in that show felt so contrived that it undercut the story, and now The Agency is falling into the same trap. Super-spy Fassbinder jeopardizing his career and his country over a woman? It’s just not believable. He’s supposed to be a seasoned professional, not some starry-eyed rookie. The romance is not only forced, but it’s also derailing the action, tension, and intrigue that should be at the heart of a spy series. Let’s get back to what makes shows like this work: the danger, the high-stakes violence, and the intricate spy games. That’s the real draw, not a romance plot shoehorned into the story.

You remind that I need to watch season 2 of Old Man. As for the romance in the agency, I think he’s attached to his legacy cos his real life is crap. But I agree it’s not a draw, and detracts cos it’s not passionate enough.

@@GeorgeGuessy-li2iu yeah I agree the love interest plot line is not interesting enough especially because she seems to live life on easy mode. This kind of love story needed a lot of back story and adversity and we haven’t seen it yet so we’re all questioning why he should sacrifice everything for a married woman who can’t make the same sacrifices for him.

@@ZahraOlaad Well said! Still, I find myself grappling with the underutilization of some remarkable talent. Jeffrey Wright, an actor I've admired since his breakout role as Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1996, showcases his incredible range, but his abilities feel constrained within the confines of this series. Meanwhile, Richard Gere, as the CIA London Station Chief, delivers a compelling performance, fully immersed in the complexities of his character. His charisma shines through, yet I can't help but wish for more screen time from him as well.

Just say you not smart enough to follow, this show was amazing

[@TheOfficialSpoilerAlertShow]

Lmao u sound like a female. "JuSt SaY yOu NoT sMaRt EnOuGh" lol that's original you come up with that on your own? Lmao at thinking this basic boring ass show takes a high IQ to understand.

[@17thVisions]

Yep I’m a girl because I’m pointing out your ignorance,you’re the smartest smh

[@codyglass809]

This show sucks. It’s boring and there’s no character or plot development. Looks cool, but other than that it’s a completely empty show

[@michaliskoufos6911]

Listen guys. If the Agency is too boring and complicated for you I have some suggestions. Try Sponge Bob, an easy and classic recommendation that suites your intellect perfectly. Also Texas Ranger with the greatest actor of all time, Chuck Norris, a straight forward crime series [with no karate unfortunately] that you can watch without using much braincells. And of course Jackass [series and movies] for it's intellectual quality and pure entertaining value. I was also thinking about Family Guy but I suspect you may find some moments too deep and challenging. Continue with the good work!

@@michaliskoufos6911 this comment was even more boring than the show idk how the hell you managed that lmaooooo that took skill!

[@michaliskoufos6911]

@@TheOfficialSpoilerAlertShow Well thank you! I guess I was careful in school but I admit it took me some years and many books to master a foreign language [English]. Also watching a lot of movies and TV shows over the last 35 years have helped me a lot to improve my vocabulary. Maybe you should do some studies and research about the subject because your knowledge is obviously quite limited.

[@TheOfficialSpoilerAlertShow]

@ not a life story! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@codyglass809]

Funny thing is even SpongeBob has better character and plot development than this waste of time boring show.
