What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

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 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 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 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 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 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

Uninter E Agree with Andrew S, appalling, I only _just_ managed to get to end of the second episode - I was close to gouging my eyes out. Egregious plot/script, poor acting - the only redeeming feature was the production values. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Andrew S You keep hoping it will get better, but there are more and more dumb plot holes as it goes on. Shame on all of you - this could have been so much better if you had put a little more thought into the script. The villains are ridiculous, the dialogue is often terrible, I kept turning it off in frustration, and then watched more - and it just got worse.... The one bright spot was Sarah Desjardins, who has that special something that could shine if she ever gets cast in a good movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Not sure why people rated so low. This show is excellent. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review David H More entertaining than many spy shows but not unforgettable. Looking forward to season 2 but will need the recap to remember season 1 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Scott L Decent show, I would give season 2 a chance if it is renewed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Suzanne H Love this series, loved that I didn't know who to trust and loved the mind games. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
