What follows is a world of even deeper intrigue and subterfuge, with characters fighting their own battles as they grapple with existential threats to the nation and the world.

The way a case officer becomes an agent (or informant or confidential informant) is through the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail)Ego. Blake, the acronym “OBE” is incorrectly explained as "Overcome By Events".
In US
government agencies, including those in the intelligence community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation for the acronym “OBE” is "Overcome By Events"… The opening credits feature characters and scenes from the series interspersed with mirrored panels. Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “poet-spy,” described the intelligence game as a “Wild of Mirrors,” a phrase taken from a T.S.

In the world of intelligence, in the search for truth, it is difficult to distinguish between reality and its reflection, an illusion, if you will, as if one were in a “Hall of Mirrors”… For anyone who loves cat-and-mouse games entangled in the world of espionage, The Agency is for you.

Add in Richard Gere and Katherine Waterston and you have one of the most talented casts on television. The show may start off slow for some, but stick with it because it picks up.

The Agency does a great job of showing the costs and sacrifices that go into doing this kind of work.
