Rating Summary
Thanks to a tightly woven and incredibly crisp and focused script, an astounding, subtle performance by Michael Fassbender, as well as an excellent supporting cast and superb direction, the first four episodes of The Agency are among the best that streaming TV has ever offered.

Unfortunately, starting with the fifth episode, the program's focus starts to drift, introducing what feel like setups for a second season, a growing cast of less engaging characters, and story arcs that wane in comparison to the earlier entries.
