@@s0nnyburnett I mean i thought i was alone on an island on this one . This movie was so effin' bad it's actually insane . I was so eager to watch it and the letdown was quite impressive i'd say . I mean the trailer was better than the actual movie
The majority of people are dumb. This comment section reflects that. This TV show is for people who read books. Americans have been trained for the last 80 years to hate books and to look down on intelligence.
I love MI, but I’m a fan of spy stuff overall so I understand the various agent types. This is actually closer to reality. Spy stuff is a lot of talking, meeting and information gathering. The stuff that happens before the martial arts and gunfights in movies is closer to real life.
Lol, this guy meticulously goes crazy depths to be taken for some innocent teacher and then forgets to report the attack on him and to remove his daughter's ID from the pocket of the jacket, stolen by this goon, which not only voids all his efforts to conseal his identity but also puts his daughter's life in danger 😄 my God, what a pro
Safia already gave up his name and the fact that he had a daughter to Osman in the episode and Jordanian intel confirmed it in this episode. That's why Osman followed him through the mall and that's how he learned what Poppy looked like. Making her identity super difficult to obtain would only incur more suspicion. He even says it "how is an english professor able to lose his tail like that?"
@ the clue was him asking the girl point blank at the coffeeshop if she knew paul lewis and her saying no. Osman was already surveiling them both, the card was just another clue. she doesn't need to have the same surname as her dad. just as he didn't need to report the attackto police either due to shame or lack of faith in the police to do anything about it.
You may come up with thousands of reasons why they were already sure he is a spy behind the scenes, but only these two reasons are offered to the audience explicitly, which implies they are the key, so please stop this nonsense and go celebrate New Year.
@@stefanheinke9975 lol jfc man use your brain. the only thing that definitively shows that Paul Lewis is a fake name is the fact that the daughter doesn't recognize it. unless you can explain how not filing a police report definitively proves that his name is not Paul Lewis than you're just further proving that you don't understand what you're watching adn just want to get smarmy comments off
If u were an actual spook or even remotely in that life u wouldnt have made this comment or any comment alluding to having knowledge of how they would fight. Have fun with the 5 minutes of attention that u received from this.
One of the best Showtime produced series since Homeland! Cerebral, riveting, compelling, and exhilarating series! Unfortunately not for the "Legally Retarded"! Excellent and magnificent cast of actors/actresses/thespians!
This reminds me of "the killer" on Netflix, I love that movie and this show reminds me of it, so I'm already predisposed to liking it, I'm American btw, yes, some of us like books
This man is taking a beating to protect his cover as a weakling despite being able to snap his opponent’s neck like a toothpick. So you think the West is faking & pretending to be weak? Why pretend?
This is the perfect show to watch if you'd like something to put you to sleep within a few minutes. Hardly has a 'spy show' been so drab and boringly executed. If I'm 4 episodes in and don't care what happens in the 5th, then whoever made this show has failed miserably as a producer.
lol, never watch The Good Shepherd. You might self delete. This show is supposed to be Bond but at a more realistic level of espionage today in the CIA. He literally says "no exploding watch" mocking the insane theatrics and gadgets on the golden screen being completely underwhelming in real life and it's NOTHING LIKE THE MOVIES. You're looking for beer and this show is Whiskey.
Oh man that is the worst showcase of "knowing" how to fight to later pretending like you don't. When he was hitting the coach, his hands were way done. Any decent sparing partner or a coach would smack you as a punishment.
This show is incredibly boring. Each episode somehow worse than the other. I got into half of the second episode. I’ve seen snoozefest clips like this.
Thats actually gold. This dude is so conditioned to being a weapon he has to be actively trained how to get beaten up.
In case you missed it, Paul Lewis is the Clark Kent to his Superman. Rule #1, never break character when under cover. Not even to save face..
Man, it's astounding how many people have short attention spans that anything slower than Mission Impossible movies is boring to them.
Hilariously and savagely true,
tell it like it is commentary!
Unfortunately
"Legally Retarded" individuals have an extremely short attention span!
funny because the latest MI was a dreadfully long slow burn with nothing exciting in it.
@@ivanmladja24
Excellent, intelligent, spot on commentary!

I will second the funny but say that I love how the show focuses on the humanity, sacrifice, and characters and not the action.
Hey coo, that's The Columbia. My family stayed at this hotel during our first overseas trip last summer.
Come to New York!
We'll give you this experience for free!!
Lived in NYC for almost 2O years from Chelsea all the way to Bedstuy and I never got jumped once.
This Series is so well written
Never knew one needed lessons to get his ass handed to him.
You people need to stick with the Mission Impossible genre shows. This is way to cerebral for you…
Agreed. Lots of dumb and numb here.

@jwarrior2011 mm, I think they were not sure, which is why they sought to confirm their suspicions. And he gave them the final clues.
@ the clue was him asking the girl point blank at the coffeeshop if she knew paul lewis and her saying no.

It is exactly the same as the "Le Bureau" series !!!

I can totally see that. I read The Killer before I realized they had a movie.
I love this series.
i waited to see him come up and kick ass. But he just lies there and that's it! Lol
I mean, what would be the point?
U missed the entire point then.
being a spy is one of the most boring and dangerous things you can do
O:16 looks like Berlin
FassBender has once again chosen poorly
Oh, it is the remake of a french tv show. Le bureau des légendes.
That must have been a nice coat
As MARV would say " THATS A REAL NICE COAT YOUR WEARING"
@@walterwhitaker1395 Shame to get some blood on it. Take it off.
They stole this whole scene from the Canal+ french show "Le Bureau".
Je crois que c'est une adaptation justement
They didnt steal anything they made their rendition of it.
In Spy we trust
What an apt metaphor for the current state of Western civilization.
This man is taking a beating to protect his cover as a weakling despite being able to snap his opponent’s neck like a toothpick.
So you think the West is faking & pretending to be weak? Why pretend?
What is the point of making a scene by scene replica of the original show? 🥴

Seems like its just a grounded take 🤷♂️ not everything can be fast furious or mission impossible
The spy world is slow and steady not fast and furious

I only watched it for Jodi Turner. I love their relationship but everything else is very boring!
Exactly, this show is nothing like Kingsman, or Spy Kids. Those franchises understood statecraft.
I wanted to like this. It bored the piss out of me.
Oh man that is the worst showcase of "knowing" how to fight to later pretending like you don't. When he was hitting the coach, his hands were way done. Any decent sparing partner or a coach would smack you as a punishment.
A VERY nice coat!!
just for a jacket ? cmon men
Save your energy and watch slow horses instead
It’s shite
RIP off from a cracking French produced series ….do your work and find it….much,much better than this
It isn't even the story which is boring...it is...the camera too...
Agreed, this show is pretty boring. Don't need fireworks, but if there isn't anything intriguing then why bother watch it?
This show is incredibly boring. Each episode somehow worse than the other. I got into half of the second episode. I’ve seen snoozefest clips like this.
It is called "The Agency" yet it doesn't take place at Langley, this is my only issue with the show, other than that it is good so far.
@@JuanHernandez-ze3si it’s referring to the operational structure of the agency….not the actual HQ of the CIA
Annoying right. Like being 10 minutes into Inception and realising it isn't a porno.
@@ifedhimspaghetti LMAO 🤣
@@ifedhimspaghetti It kinda was though, wasn’t it?
The Day of the Jackal is a much better spy show than this.
Lol i dont think you know enough about it to call it a spy show
The Day of the Jackal is only exciting for those who probably like Fast and Furious.
Slow Horses is miles better than both
@marlboroni-y7s Can't disagree with you, mate.
It's not even a spy show
Meh
Quite possibly the worst spy show Ive ever seen... Try The Day of the Jackal if you want to see a great series!!!
Thats not a spy thriller….and a shit remake at best 💩
@@rusiatevuetibau6333 day of the jackal is great but it isnt a spy thriller like you pointed out
The Day of the Jackal is great to the same degree that popcorn and soda make a great breakfast meal.
@@jonbolton491 a lot of “stuff” happen there, I’m sure
Just an okay scene, this rest of the show is more boring and disappointing
