Critics are enjoying Michael Fassbender’s performance in; however, reviews are also split when it comes to other elements of the new Showtime series.
The first two episodes of The Agency will premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime on November 29, 2024. With new episodes continuing to drop on Fridays, the series stars Fassbender as a character named Martin, while the cast also includes Jodie Turner-Smith, Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, and more.
The first reviews of The Agency have now been released and, while most critics agree that Fassbender and the rest of the supporting cast are quite good in the series, there are differing opinions on the writing, tone, and pace.
The Hollywood Reporter’s Daniel Fienberg wrote, “Directed in its initial installments by Joe Wright, the series looks terrific and sometimes builds suspense.
What it doesn’t have, at least in early episodes, is much consistency. Each of the three chapters sent to critics has a different set of attributes and different points of frustration, which in turn add up to an overall frustration.
