Anybody watching The Agency

I have been. Enjoying it well enough though I know an issue certain posters here will have with it.

It’s pretty good and has the potential to be great but it’s missing something. Not quite sure what but hope it finds it.

I tend to always like Fassbender, but everyone on the show except for the counter spies are very "regulated" and slow. It's a slow burn for sure.

Pretty spot on. Has great dialogue and the scene with the militia's guys boots was pretty intense.

But it's definitely lacking in overall action considering how many things have and are heating up.

Expect the Iran story to pick up a lot and really need more heat on Fassbender for how much he is slipping.

Maybe we get some action with the insane militia guy here soon too.

That, and ditching Osman could lead to some rough waters.

I've been enjoying it, & I'm looking forward to the season finale.

I watched the first two episodes, I have Paramount through the Walmart+ app. I am trying to decide if I want to upgrade my included membership with Paramount to continue the series.

I don't mind it and will obviously finish, but it's almost too much of a slow burn. For some it's fine but for people like me, I have to be really into the plot and subplots and I'm just not feeling it much with this show.

- I don't buy the connection between Brandon and Sami. More layers were peeled back in the middle of the season, but I do not see why he's risking it all for her.

- Wright and Gere aren't used enough, those are two great actors and they've been used sparingly.

- The coyote storyline has been my favorite so far but I don't think it should have lasted the full season. There were times you could feel while watching the writers dragging out the story. I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.

- Ruiz story has been hit and miss, at this point I don't really care what happens in Iran.

I’m watching and just watched last week’s episode. I love it so far. My only gripe is I wish they didn’t include the scenes of him being interrogated in what looks like a hospital room. That should be left to the viewer to be surprised by. Instead we already know he gets caught.

If not for the shootout in the woods in episode 2 I never would have continued. It’s just too damn slow.

It's about espionage. It's not Rambo. There will be more action in Season 2 if it still follows the French version.

first few episodes were plodding for sure, but it really picked up last few episodes. it's about covert, clandestine plot not action oriented, unlike Lioness.

The last episode drops tonight maybe?
