Summer Streamin' 25 - The Agency - Season One

Showtime is back baby! Dexter, The Agency, Yellowjackets next month! Paramount+ with Showtime is going ham after a fair break! Well except for The Chi and a few other series.

The Agency is an American spy thriller series produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov. Also with an all-star cast featuring, Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Richard Gere. 

Streaming in Australia on Paramount+, the series commenced late November, concluding yesterday morning. Good news though, last month, the series was renewed for a second season.

The Agency is based on the acclaimed French series, created by Éric Rochant.

But what's this Showtime thriller all about? Is it their new Homeland?

Covert CIA agent Martian (Fassbender) is ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station. A past love unexpectedly reappears, pitting his mission and his real identity against his heart, hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage.

The thing is with spy thrillers these days, as we have so many. Homeland set the bar high (even airing on the exact same network as The Agency) with other series to follow. Being a remake too of probably better European version too.

Oh well for all that aside, bringing Richard Gere back and Showtime favourite Dominic West, The Agency isn't all bad, it's just not as great and original as it could be.

Paramount+ have gone hard with advertising in my parts recently. Landman was exceptional, I'm vibing the new Dexter and Fire Country returns next week with NCIS Sydney's second season not far behind.

For now, hopefully I'll catch a movie or two this next week. Seeya then! Happy Lunar New Year!
