Summary

Jo and Rob lay a trap to recap the Season 1 finale of ‘The Agency.’ They discuss their thoughts on the season as a whole, how the final episode compares to the ending of the French series it’s based on, and how the Danny story line left them wanting more (2:37). Along the way, they talk through the dissatisfying payoff of the season-long tease involving Martian’s hospitalization and Richard Gere’s precise usage throughout the season (15:51). Later, they highlight how the show nailed the various forms of spy communication (31:55). Email us!
