Jo and Rob look for a left-field lead to recap the third, fourth, and fifth episodes of ‘The Agency.’ They discuss the recent boom of spy shows this year, how the Showtime drama is balancing its several concurrent plotlines, and why Osman is a perfectly calibrated character (2:31). Along the way, they theorize who Martian is talking to in the flash-forward sequences and touch on Danny’s competence as a young spy (25:40). Later, they break down the decision to make the mystery around Coyote’s disappearance the season’s main through line (38:42).
