Paramount+ has launched a new spy series called *The Agency*, based on the acclaimed French show *Le Bureau des Légendes*. The series features a star-studded cast, including Michael Fassbender and is produced by George Clooney. Despite high expectations, early reviews describe *The Agency* as slow and lacking urgency. Critics note that it struggles to engage viewers and fails to develop its characters effectively, particularly Fassbender's role as an American spy. While the original French series ran successfully for years, *The Agency* may need time to find its footing. The show is currently available for streaming on Paramount+.
