On Max/Showtime

Watched most of the first episode. We kept hoping it would get better but
just couldn’t get into it.

Anybody else?

Just watched the first episode.
Intriguing, let's see how it goes.

I watched the first two episodes tonight.

It's just interesting enough to keep me coming back, at least for now.

I don't mind this show, actually kind of reminds me of The Americans (Keri Russell. Mathew Rhys 2018).
You have to pay attention to keep up with all the plot lines.
One thing is for sure that it ratifies you can't trust or assume anything anywhere anytime from anybody especially Govt.

I couldn't get into it. Wanted to like it but just didn't like it.

I doubt it will improve as George Clooney has his fingers in it...

Struggled through the first episode. When I saw Clooney in the credits I gave up on it.

The following has spoilers. I have watched up to the current sixth episode. It is about how spies cannot afford to have any emotional entanglements. But people cannot separate themselves from family, friends, and lovers. Tragedy ensues.

While "The Agency" is pretty good, it's a remake of a far better French series that's well worth watching called "The Bureau." I really enjoyed "The Americans" a lot, but I've got to say that "The Bureau" was even better. Darker, more realistic tradecraft, and surprising plot twists. If you like good spy series, you've got to give this a try and BTW, this is (from what I've heard) the highest rated series ever shown in France, for good reasons.

I love it, especially the feel of it. I do find it hard to follow all of the plot lines. But the atmosphere, cast, and filming are excellent.

It's a slow burn with multiple stories that might end up in the same place. It's very well done.
