I think, the best agents could make a clown on themselfs without much effort
Anyway, maybe by default, he seems to be a clown, but when in need, he gets his balls attached. But, being an agent was just a hard guess, in the late part of the current version there are some interesting turn of events I would say... Watch it to the end and let me know, what you think
About the story telling, the plot is full on turn steps where we always get to know one more element. And it is usually something unusual I would say? This keeps the story interesting. The Brazilian Soap operas are also built something like that I guess? I have no clue about story telling, so I'm only guessing
