Why Michael Fassbender and the Writers of ‘The Agency’ Should Be Considered for the Emmys
Michael Fassbender’s “The Agency” on Paramount+ is a gripping thriller with Emmy potential. Here’s why the show deserves awards recognition.
Starring two-time Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender (“12 Years a Slave” and “Steve Jobs”) and Oscar nominee and Emmy winner Jeffrey Wright (“American Fiction” and “Angels in America”), the series follows Brandon Colby (codename: Martian), a CIA operative so deeply embedded in his own undercover identity that even his personal life becomes part of the deception. The pilot episode, “The Bend,” submitted for consideration in the outstanding writing for a drama series category, showcases the Butterworth brothers’ signature storytelling — tense and nuanced. “The Americans” took longer to build momentum but eventually became a critical favorite, earning 18 Emmy nominations over its run, including nods for outstanding drama series in its fourth and sixth seasons.
