Spy thrillers are everywhere right now.
The Agency, starring Michael Fassbender, has been given an early second season renewal less than a week after its premiere.
The first two episodes have racked up 5.1m global views on streaming and linear since premiering on November 29, becoming Showtime’s most-streamed new series in history.

His career, his real identity and his mission are pitted against his heart; hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage.
The series also stars Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith, Katherine Waterston, John Magaro, Alex Reznik, Andrew Brooke, Harriet Sansom Harris, India Fowler, Saura Lightfoot-Leon, Reza Brojerdi and Richard Gere. Dominic West and Hugh Bonneville are guest stars.

I have only just started a trial viewing of this show, I still prefer the French original ‘Le Bureau des Légendes’, especially the then contemporary French themes involving the DGSE, and the issues of France’s geopolitical relevance with other security services like the CIA, they obviously didn’t trust each other.
