Chronology
Follows 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 turns out an Agent (or Informer or Confidential Informant), is through the use of the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail)Ego.
During dialogue from Martian in a discussion with Dr
Blake, the acronym "OBE" is incorrectly explained as "Overtaken By Events". In US Government agencies, including those in the Intelligence Community and Department Of Defense, the correct/official explanation of the acronym "OBE" is "Overcome By Events"..
The opening credits present the characters and scenes from the series interspersed with mirror panes
The former Director of Counterintelligence at the CIA, James Jesus Angleton, also known as the "poet-spy", described the Intelligence game as the "Wilderness of Mirrors", which was a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (The title is Greek for "little old man," and the poem is an interior monologue relating the opinions and impressions of an elderly man, which describes Europe after World War I through the eyes of a man who has lived most of his life in the 19th century).
Featured in The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024)
In the world of Intelligence, in the search for truth, it is hard to tell the difference between reality and a reflection thereof, an illusion if you will, as if one were in a "Hall of Mirrors".. I don’t get all the negativity in the reviews, yes it’s pace is not in the Bourne territory but it’s suspenseful, fabulously acted and grabs your attention.
Fassbender again is excellent and unlike most spy dramas it is actually quite believable
I haven’t seen the French original before this so forgive me if I don’t give a comparison but it would be a shame if any negative comparison would stop any enjoyment of this.Perhaps the pacing concerns come from the binge watching culture, it’s probably slow if you want to watch a number of episodes in one sitting but I honestly can’t see any issue with it. Please don’t let any of the negativity stop you watching, it’s well worth your time.
