    a watchable show that lacks the wow factors and I found it messy at times. The FBI terms are difficult to understand

    It’s a lot of meh, really.

    The acting is way too stiff, the writing is clunky and not a lot seems to really feel comfortable.

    The Night Agent isn’t a great show by any stretch. There are worse out there but the premise of the show and what it devolves into by the end of Season 1 are completely different.

    Ten episodes is about 2 too many as a lot of fluff and filler could have been cut.

    So cheesy, its as if the writers took every cliche from every bad B movie ever made and turned it into a Netflix series. Do yourself a favor and don't bother.

    Gabriel Basso’s action thriller isn’t a hit by accident. And in Season 3, it’s firing on all cylinders. There’s a star right there.

    It didn’t need to be 10 episodes. A tighter framework would have turned up the heat and made it less of a slow burner. But Chau and Basso make it worthwhile.

    Subversion of the action-thriller norm is a good feature, though it comes with a downside: When the tension between the equally matched pair inevitably turns romantic, some of the air goes out of the show, as detection and action make room for bland soul searching and weak rom-com repartee.
