Sharp, Propulsive "The Agency" Should Appeal to Fans of Spy Fiction | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
Briefly

"The Agency" offers a refreshing departure from traditional spy narratives, favoring sharp dialogue and introspective storytelling over high-octane action, akin to John le Carré's works.
Based on the French series "The Bureau," the show captures the complexities of undercover life, showcasing an agent's struggle for normalcy amidst pervasive surveillance.
The unexpected emotional depth and layered characters elevate "The Agency," making it a strong contender in the streaming landscape, overshadowed by broader escapist entertainment.
The narrative intricately explores personal and professional conflicts faced by spies, particularly in the case of Agent Coyote, whose struggles with alcoholism could jeopardize his mission.
