'The Agency' Season 2 Review: Stronger Themes, But Less Michael Fassbender Hurts the Show
By
Ben Travers
Summary
The review of 'The Agency' Season 2 argues that the show makes significant changes from its first season — shifting focus away from the central romance and the psychological toll of spy work — but in doing so, it drifts too far from its strongest asset: Michael Fassbender's performance as the Martian. The reviewer notes that while the season attempts to explore deeper themes, it reduces Fassbender's screen time and impact, leaving the show feeling unbalanced.
