Show is so good. I'm through S2 E6 and hooked.

I looked for an Agency thread a couple weeks back but I guess the search didn't go far enough back in time Almost started one.

This shite is better than any spy movie or series in the last decade or more.

And I never hear anyone talk about it. I just lucked into starting it like a month ago when I saw an ad on Paramount+.

I have told all of my friends to watch it though, so I'm doing my part to stop it from being canceled

Almost through S1. Passing it along to friends too. Great show. The fricking app still pisses me off though.

Glad im not the only one that felt this lol. It’s crazy the amount of people NOT talking about this show and this season in particular.

Yep this is a great show. Great cast. Lot's of twists and turns, double-crosses, uncertainty about true motivations of the characters. Highly recommend for anyone that likes engrossing spy thriller shows.

Just finished, Martian just keeps getting better and the other characters all leveled up. Gremlin had a little too much contrivances in her storyline this season but she still leveled up as a character as well.

Season started a little slow but last 1/2 of it was very good.

Took me a while to start remembering what happened in Season 1 because I kept confusing story lines with The Night Agent & Night Manager

I didn’t love the very end but the last 3 episode and the finale, wow. Almost sad to see Viking go he was such a challenging villain. Always a step ahead.

We watched season 1 when originally released and just started on season 2 last night. This is a really good show.

Gere, Fassbender and Wright are so damn good in this. So are the rest of the supporting cast honestly.

Gere might be the best. His lines are so good.

"youre still a shitty agent but... no, nvm get out!"

"how do you think I got this fancy office?"

Have they confirmed death? It's likely considering, but did they say he's dead?

Also, IF THEY MAKE ANOTHER SEASON it seems like next season will start out with Fassbender in some shite world country prison. Could be awesome.

We really need them to make another season.

Nothing official yet but I sure hope we do. It’s supposed to be 5 seasons long and I’ll have to check how well it’s doing on viewers but it was tops in a few European counties so if it’s healthy here we should be ok.

No, it looked like he took the brunt of the blast that killed 2-3 other guys but maybe he survived. I’d love it, he’s a great villain and assuming it’s his group who has Martian I wouldn’t be surprised if he was.

Hugh Bonneville is fantastic. He steals every scene he’s in.

Owen’s character is portrayed perfectly. Put him in a room full of the stars and grizzled spymasters, and he should be nothing more than background scenery, but he consistently provides valuable insight and holds his own as an analyst. Owen has a bright future in the CIA.

Then he goes out into the field, and things get tense. He’s on the brink of disaster with every expression, decision, and comment he makes. He’s always on the precipice of blowing his cover.

That requires a lot of subtlety and nuance from an actor, and it shows the depth of the cast that his performance isn’t mentioned.

No way he is dead based on that explosion scene and how he turned and covered himself and also how the explosion seemed to travel in one direction versus the other.

Also, they know this show is nothing without Fassbender. I wouldn't be worried.

Is there a bad performance in the entire show? An annoying character even? I can’t think of one, the performances are just outstanding.

Well we know Martian survived, we just don’t know if Viking did. Might rewatch the final scene to see if I recognize his voice.

Holy shite I love this show.

Season one was slow but I liked it. Season 2 has leveled up for sure.

Go rewatch the last scene. After Martian comes to, you can see in the background the lower half of Viking’s body next to the chair/table.
