The Agency (Paramount+ w/Showtime)

A covert CIA agent is ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station; when the love he left behind reappears, romance reignites.

The series premiered on November 29, 2024, and is based on the critically acclaimed French series Le Bureau des Légendes, created by Éric Rochant, that aired on Canal+ from 2015 to 2020."

 

First

 

Good show

 

i want to watch it

 

Watched S1 of the Bureau like a month ago (on S4 now) so it’s a little jarring to see the same exact plot beats and even dialogue play out in this, but there are enough tweaks that it still feels fresh enough. Really good show so far

 

Yay

 

New episode good, as expected.

 

Wow that ending was tense as hell. I know it's about to get crazy now that the pieces starting to make sense.

 

The Iran plotline in the original series was probably my favorite from that show, so curious to see how they portray it for this one. Wonder where they'll film it too. I remember that "Tehran" show was filmed in Athens I believe, as the architecture wasn't too far off from what is found in Iran/Tehran.

 

This is good but so close to the original I might give up on it. Feels like I’m just doing a rewatch.

 

Didn’t the Iran plotline in the original not come until like season 3 or 4? I guess doing it right away might free up room for other plots in further seasons. Plus, curious if they spend more effort incorporating Ukraine into the story

 

Great episode. I feel the walls closing in! Damn u think they caught him slipping on that police report.

 

Ahhhh this show is anxiety inducing haha.

 

Anybody still watching? On episode 9 now

 

Nah. Would rather just re watch the original.
