Our take
Agent Zeta is a Spanish-language spy thriller about assassinated intelligence officers and a decades-old covert mission in Colombia. Gun standoffs, murder talk, kidnapping tension and frequent strong profanity land during the action. Cocaine trafficking and smoking appear in backstory dialogue. The two-hour-plus runtime and political intrigue suit older teens and adults, not younger viewers.
Uplifting themes
Questions of institutional accountability echo through the mission. That theme stays in the background of the spy work Zeta pursues truth despite political pressure. Persistence under that pressure is the main positive pull
Story (may spoil tone)
Four Spanish ex-intelligence officers are assassinated simultaneously worldwide. The CNI discovers all participated in the covert "Operation Ciénaga" decades ago in Colombia. Zeta, the CNI's best operative, must hunt and protect the sole survivor, facing his deadliest global mission yet. Top Colombian agent Alfa will join Zeta, seemingly knowing more about "Ciénaga"'s secrets than him.

Talk after watching
- Governments sometimes hide past operations. How do secrets from decades ago still affect people today?
- Zeta must protect a survivor while hunting killers. When does loyalty to an agency conflict with doing what is right?
