The following contains spoilers for The Agency Season 1, Episode 7, "Hard Landing," now streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime and debuting Friday, Jan. 3 on Showtime.
“Hard Landing” might be The Agency episode to beat. For the first time since the series' fourth episode, “Quarterback Blitz,” pieces are slotting into place, fresh players are making an impact, and old assets are forced into action. A shadowy figure in the diplomatic negotiations is also applying more pressure to Sami, and audiences are introduced to General Volchok. A Russian extremist with questionable methods, he commands Valhalla from within Belarus. Valhalla isn't just some private army; it's a global strike force with mercenary pretensions intent on ramping up hostilities. Back in London, Danny calls on a favor to ensure her trip to Iran, and Poppy narrowly avoids kidnap.
After the slim pickings of last week's “Spy for Sale,” which relied heavily on a star turn from Marek Vasut as General Novikov,...

The following contains spoilers for The Agency Season 1, Episode 6, "Spy for Sale," now streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime and debuting Friday, Dec. 27 on Showtime.
Showtime's thriller The Agency is running on empty. In the aftermath of Season 1, Episode 5, “Rat Trap,” Martian has attracted unwanted attention. His daughter Poppy meets an overseas student with an Ma in strongarm tactics, and Danny has some quality time over firearms with Naomi. Throw in British intelligence asking too many questions and Osman peels back the layers of Paul Lewis, and there's discomfort for everyone involved -- including the viewer.
Beyond the bickering of state departments over operatives missing in action, The Agency continues to delve into the topic of identity. Writers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth are distracting their audience with a slow-burn spy caper, played out against the backdrop of prominent London landmarks. It's old-fashioned tale with whiffs of Cold War collusion, focused on...
