“The Agency” has really impressed me.

Late last year, we were in a golden age of spy thrillers.

L-R: Michael Fassbender as Martian and Hugh Bonneville as Richardson in "The Agency," episode 10, season 1, streaming on Paramount Plus with Showtime.

Then there was “Black Doves” on Netflix, which while notquiteas good was still supremely enjoyable.

That’s exactly what they did.

Here’s why the season finale just cemented this show as one of my favorites of 2025 so far.

He’s ultimately given to General Volchok (Juris Zagars), leader of the Russian paramilitary organization Valhalla.

The ending of that storyline is the climactic moment of this season finale and it isspectacular.

This is mostly positive, as one imagines spycraft itself has lots of moving parts.

As I mentioned, one of the season’s three main storylines has been freeing Coyote from Volchok.

This rekindles their romance and ultimately, ends pretty disastrously.

That storyline is mostly wrapped up as well, though we won’t know for certain until season 2.

Except, I think we now have a way to tie everything together.

Her mission is vitally important, and probably of interest to the British as well as the Americans.
