Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent is a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings -- until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast-moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.

Bingeable as a beach read and just as forgettable, The Night Agent is a routine spy thriller told with commendable bravado.

The Night Agent: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) The Shield creator, Shawn Ryan, does his best to put some texture and moral tension in this fast-paced series, but at best this a solid, unspectacular run-and-gun narrative that at least has a zesty female counterpart. Apr 13, 2023 Full Review The Night Agent: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News A solid conspiracy movie/series throwback involving two lethal killers, a bombing in a subway, a mole within the White House and a newbie FBI agent who’s in over his head. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 29, 2023 Full Review The Night Agent: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times In the second half of the series, the action is ramped up and the plot twists bend credulity close to the breaking point — but we stick with it, and we’re rewarded with some payoffs. Rated: 3/4 Mar 25, 2023 Full Review The Night Agent: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan There’s no denying that The Night Agent, while with its many flaws, is a lot more enjoyable and balances the many subplots without making them too complicated. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review The Night Agent: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu While there are pacing issues and it takes some time for the show to hit its stride, ‘The Night Agent’ ticks along busily enough to ensure you do not ask too many questions Aug 27, 2023 Full Review The Night Agent: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) Basso’s Sutherland is a pretty straightforward nice guy. Still, it is easy to cheer for him and his budding romance with Rose. If you are in the market for a popcorn political thriller, this is it. Rated: 3/5 Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Zykeerah J the actors were incredible I finished in 2days Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Natnael B Solid story. The characters were interesting accompany by best chemistry between them. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Ethan C Not as worth the hype as I've seen people give it. The twists and turns try to be clever but feel forced. They try to tie too many threads together and the flashbacks don't feel natural, just thrown in where convenient. It had a good start and premise but further in it feels like a jumbled mess. And some of the tropes made it worse, like the crazy female assassin. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Sam A It’s the new 24 which will make for good popcorn binging but it’s definitely far from Netflix’s most prestige, for better and worse. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Michelle H My husband and I really enjoyed this Netflix show. We were actually surprised to see the ratings not higher. Each episode is paced swiftly and the mystery of who the mole is keeps you on your toes. For spy thriller fans, this is a must see. We hope they keep the series alive and do another season. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Brian D 88%. 8/19/24. Really enjoyed this show about a girl who is in her aunt and uncle's house when she witnesses an assassin kill them only to discover they work for the CIA and they were aware of a domestic terrorist act lead by the VP. Intense show from the start. Cool that it goes all the way up to the President level. Lot of moving parts to the story. Some very strong characters, good writing. 5/5 rewatch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
