Story
This is a world of even deeper intrigues and tricks, where the characters fight their own battles, fighting existential threats to the nation and the world. From the films “X-Men: First Class” and “Acolyte”; in the “Cotton Club”, familiarize yourself with the roles of the “Agency” on television and in the cinema; stars Michael Fassbender, Jodie Turner-Smith, Richard Gere and many others. How an investigative officer becomes an agent (or whistleblower, or confidential informant) is through the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (also known as blackmail). ) Ego.
In the opening credits, the characters and walls from the series are presented interspersed with mirrors
Blake, the abbreviation “OBE” is wrongly explained as “Caught up in events.” In the US government institutions, including the intelligence community and the Ministry of Defense, the correct/official explanation of the abbreviation “OBE” is “Overcoming events”.. Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet,” described the intelligence game as “The Wildness of Mirrors,” a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the name means “little old man” in Greek, and the poem is an internal monologue, reflecting the opinions and impressions of an elderly person who describes Europe after the First World War through the eyes of a person who lived most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of Reason, in search of truth, it is difficult to distinguish reality from its reflection, illusion, if you will, as if you were in the “Hall of Mirrors”.
Until now, nothing has been even remotely close to this
The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). I have to say that I was lucky enough to watch “The Bureau” a couple of years ago, and to be honest, it’s probably one of the best things I’ve ever seen. There is a correlation between the two series, it was obviously mentioned that it was “influenced” by the way, but, to be honest, I did not expect such a plot. Don’t get me wrong, the series has been amazing up to this point, with a great cast, good cinematography, but I haven’t seen anything like this in the French version yet.
You won’t regret it
It is too early to say how it will be, but I strongly advise everyone who has not seen “The Bureau” to watch it. After Fassbender played a professional killer in David Fincher’s The Killer, and I saw that he was in the cast, I immediately knew that he was an excellent choice for this role. Series of this type actually require a certain concentration while watching, so that you can be aware of all the characters of the storyline and small details about them. It’s not something you’d look at while cycling on an indoor trainer.
You either like such series or you don’t like them at all, there is no middle ground
Someone would even consider them slow, maybe even boring, but it is the characteristics and complex personal battles that the characters have, plus the slow build-up of tension, that make them, in my opinion, remarkable.
