Case officers like the Martian operate in other countries in one of two ways
It follows a world of even deeper intrigue and subterfuge, with characters fighting their own battles as they confront existential threats to the nation and the world. From X-Men: First Class and “The Acolyte” to The Cotton Club, see the TV and film roles of “The Agency” starring Michael Fassbender, Jodie Turner-Smith, Richard Gere and more. Official or diplomatic cover, in which the officer gathers information in another country as a government official, such as a cultural attaché, protected by diplomatic immunity. It’s informally referred to as the “Diplomatic Cocktail Circuit” because there’s not much meaningful information out there.

The other path is through Non-Official Cover (NOC) or “Deep Cover”, to assume any role other than a government official, for extended periods of time, without the safety net of immunity, under penalty of imprisonment, torture, or even death. During the Martian’s dialogue in a discussion with Dr. Blake, the acronym “OBE” is incorrectly explained as “Overtaken by Events”. government agencies, including those in the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation of the acronym “OBE” is “Overtaken by Events”.
Eliot called Gerontion
The opening credits feature the characters and scenes from the series interspersed with mirrored panels. Former CIA Director of Counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet”, described the intelligence game as the “Wilderness of Mirrors”, which was a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. In the world of Intelligence, in search of truth, it is hard to tell the difference between reality and a reflection of it, an illusion if you will, as if in a “Hall of Mirrors”… Featured in Graham Norton and guests: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). Ogletree gets great lines delivered in a commanding manner that is almost as delightful as Bosko chewing out his underlings.
Then it is action
These are heavy-hitting actors, this is no small farce, with happiness, slow horses meet jackal day. One moment it is a visual delight like a music video with its creepy steady camera and expertly framed shots. The next it is romance. Then it is comedy, when Bosko turns the bird.
I can’t get enough
Like its predecessor, Homeland, this one takes the cake for overseas adaptations. If High Potential is nothing more than network TV fodder, this is the juicy stuff you sign up for cable for.
