Former CIA Director of Counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet,” described the game of intelligence as the “desert of mirrors,” which was a phrase borrowed from a T.S. Eliot poem called Gerontion (the title is Greek for “little old man,” and the poem is an interior monologue recounting the opinions and impressions of an elderly man, describing post-World War I Europe through the eyes of a man who lived most of his life in the 19th century).
Blake, the acronym “OBE” is incorrectly explained as “Overtaken By Events”
In the world of intelligence, in the search for truth, it is difficult to tell the difference between reality and a reflection of it, an illusion, if you will, as if we were in a “Hall of Mirrors.” During Marciano’s dialogue in a discussion with Dr. In US government agencies, including those in the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation of the acronym “OBE” is “Overcome By Events”.

John and Carré would be pleased with this spy thriller

Highlights in Graham Norton I liked: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). It is very adult writing and unafraid to take its time to let the story and intrigue unfold.
I have always liked John Magaro
Michael Fassbender is perfectly cast in the lead role, as The Martian. Jeffrey Wright, always great, is brilliant in this complex role as Harry Ogletree. It is great to see Richard Gere again, as the head of the London office, after he thought Hollywood had given up on him. Jodie Turner-Smith is well cast as Sami Zahir.
You have to settle into its rhythms and nuances, not car chases and shootouts!
I mentioned John Le Carré at the beginning because this series unfolds like a great spy novel.
