The Agency
Warning : This article turn back SPOILERS for The Agency instalment 7.The Agencyis ramping up nicely as the time of year goes along . The 2nd half of time of year 1 has solve most of the problems I had at the start of the show , and the serial ' obtuse pace helps with great character development . While that formula does not inevitably render to major thrills every episode , I have come to relish how the show builds tension in different ways . The psychological game played in episode 7 more than make up for its abbreviated displays of action and they are more than enough to keep us rent .

As a former romance rekindles , Martian ’s career and true identity are stake , leading him into a high - stakes world of international machination and dissimulation .
InThe Agency ’s sixth installment , Michael Fassbender ’s Martian get sloppy . Osman came closer to figuring out who Martian truly is after following his girl Poppy . I was excited to see how that would factor into episode 7 , andThe Agencymoved faster than I expected with its reception to that , which leave to Martian and Samia ’s storyline getting a necessary jounce after it had move somewhat stale . bring to that , Martian made a promise to get Coyote backbefore he was handed over to the Russians , and the spy serial come across that plan put in motion .
The Agency Merges Martian’s Two Lives Through Samia
Michael Fassbender’s Spy Finds The Perfect Way Out Of His Problems
After Martian make mucky in episode 6 , I think the whole Osman and Samia situation would finally head to his ruination . While it still might later in the time of year , episode 7 run across Fassbender ’s spy like an expert work a way out of the nook he had been put in . We have often been told how Martian is a veteran in his field , and the fictional character continues to back that up with most of his move . installment 7 shows Martian at his fine , with the spy merging his two lives to escape getting caught .
At the last of episode 7 , Martian reveals to Samia that he is not Paul Lewis , with that cliffhanger give to be answer by episode 8 .
After an exciting kickoff , I thought the Martian / Samia plot of ground had have stale . There was only so much that could be done before Osman or Samia disclose Martian ’s reliable individuality . At the end of episode 7 , Martian reveals to Samia he is not Paul Lewis , with that cliffhanger provide to be answered by episode 8 .

It became unimaginable for Martian to keep Samia a secret , but he managed to turn over the game around and expose her office in the hugger-mugger talks in London between the Sudanese and Chinese . While I expected to see Martian reveal he was not Paul Lewis to Samia at some full stop , I never saw it coming that the whole office would determine to recruit her .

Fassbender have a require functioning .
Danny Plays A Dangerous Game & Coyote’s Retrieval Is Put In Motion
While Martian ’s storyline was installment 7 ’s main focus , other characters also get a chance to shine . I enjoyed seeing a more ruthless side of Danny this time around . After learning she had not been chosen to go to Iran with Reza , evidently because she rejected his advances , Danny took matters into her own hand . Danny had Edward — the CIA operative who fake - snatch her , and she later on snarf up with — scare Jerome , who had been choose by Reza . After he did not initially back down , Edward call Jerome on his married woman ’s telephone and express he could get to her .
The problem is she is pulling a Martian of sort , letting romance impact her work .
Up to this point , Danny had not establish that she could do the dismal things that total with her new role . One of the best panorama ofThe Agency ’s slower step is that the series allows characters the necessary time to evolve . Danny is a character who has grown quite a snatch from when we first run across her . A young federal agent with a sight of potential , she face a few issues at first but now seems to be settling into her hole-and-corner position just okay . The problem is she is pulling a Martian of sorts , letting romance affect her work .

To her quotation , Edward is part of the CIA , not someone she met while hush-hush . However , having him directly intervene on her behalf , all while dating him after she told Naomi their relationship entail nothing , are troubling mark . Elsewhere , Alexei Orekhov was forced to consist on the CIA ’s behalf to Volchok to recover Coyote and keep his own category safe . Orekhov and Volchok ’s coming together was handled well , record another instance of howThe Agencydoes vivid interrogations good than most shows . Volchok sensing Orekhov was shape for the Americans was an interesting development that could change everything .
