The Agency (prods. Jez & John-Henry Butterworth).

Showtime’s American English-language remake of the acclaimed 2015 French espionage series The Bureau (aka Le bureau des légendes) maintains the same intense focus on the details of spy craft work. Set at a CIA outpost in London, this methodical version grounds its deep cover missions in contemporary politics for a sophisticated experience featuring a top-notch cast led by Michael Fassbender and Jeffrey Wright. Its pace and tight control of complicated, interlocking professional and personal relationships make for a delicious narrative of intrigue.
