One of the sweetest movies I’ve seen in years. Hugs!

Sweet gem of a movie. Well done.

This is how I see The Agency was created. The producers told the director and the cast to watch The Bureau and just replicate, or try to, everything from that French TV series. I might be biased after watching the French original.

(Spoiler alert.) I have some questions. The last scene, for example, in the cab (with Iris behind the wheel - which raises a question for itself- ) all way down in the back on one of the glass building there is KYAL sign illuminated.

Five stars to the special effects. They lost me with the line “You have a gift” (for chasing tornadoes). Oh boy.

Spoiler alert. Robert Altman once said that a movies - then as today - are made for 12 years old kids. That is totally fine. Furthermore, or even more important than anything else, more important than any of our reviews, is that the movies are employing a thousand of people with different skills. (I like to watch a credits, feels good to see how many people are involved in the movie making.) As someone who has enjoyed the Alien series, the first thing that popped up in my mind was how on the planet 🌎 you can move from Michael Fassbender and the rest of the cast in the Alien Covenant, to the cast full of kids? As amazing as these young actors are, especially David Jonsson as Andy, the Alien movies weren’t made (just) for young audiences. I mean, this cannot be in the same category as Dora, the Explorer. Oh man … just finishing the movie. A baby? Like instant Rosemary’s Baby?

Oh man. The Season One was exceptional. But this… “I don’t want to speak Chinese or Russian”, says Joe, explaining to her daughter why she chose the job. First, it would be great to speak any of these languages. Second, it’s so stupid to use this reasoning as a means to do the job, and even more stupid to compare it with the Pearl Harbor, Japanese and German languages. (Joe’s grandfather, an immigrant from Philippines, when asked why he joined the Army, said “because I don’t want to speak German and Japanese.”) And that makes sense. Now, comparing or putting in the same category his Why to Joe’s Why, in the series mirroring the actual global affairs - doesn’t make any sense.

Wondering if anyone from the movie ensemble mentioned…sunscreen, hat…gloves perhaps, it’s a rusty tower. No one? I wish the tower was located somewhere in the ocean, near Martha’s Vineyard, featuring a shark, you know, the big one. To add another - more entertaining element - besides the fear of the height, skin cancer, callouses.

First was struggling a bit then quit after “Look at my eyes and tell me you don’t want this”. The only way for this show to redeem itself is if there is a shark, a great white one, responsible for - spoiler alert - killing. Or some space alien, like a Predator type, then I’ll buy it. Please let me know.

It provides now and then some great funny scenes. But, do yourself a favor and watch until the end of credits. It’s hilarious!
