The Agency
The Agency is really a CBS television drama that followed the inner workings of this CIA. The show has been executive Made by Michael Frost Beckner, Shaun Cassidy Productions and also Radiant Productions in association with CBS Productions and Universal Network Television and Was Made by Michael Frost Beckner. It aired before May 17, 2003, lasting two seasons. It featured filming out of the CIA headquarters.
The show was contentious regarding its exploration of current affairs and its treatment of those ethical struggles inherent in intelligence work. Beckner's pilot script, written in March 2001, posited a reinvented CIA tasked with a"War on Terror" after Osama Bin Laden's Al Qaeda terrorist organization plots a deadly attack on the west. The pilot was to premiere in CIA Headquarters on September 18, 2001 and place to air on CBS September 21, 2001, but the actual 9/11 attacks convinced that the network to carry the pilot instead air a later episode. That very first episode has been aired after as this season's installment.
The September 11, 2001 terrorist events changed the way Americans viewed topical entertainment and"The Agency", during the time, was one of the most topical offering on public tv. CBS chose to offset the show briefly after the next season's final installment, although the manufacturers of this show immediately responded to the fresh perspective in the world affairs.
