The Call

FBI Agent Peter receives a distress call from Rose, who's aunt and uncle are killed by intruders, Rose witnesses the assailant, and her life is placed on mortal danger, Peter is tasked with keeping her alive.

Great start, within the first five minutes I became hooked, one of those shows I will probably end up binge watching over the next few days. Explosive, exciting, and that ending was bleak.

I may be wrong, but was this a remake of The Bodyguard from The BBC? It certainly feels very familiar, no matter if it is or isn't, it's absorbing TV, the train scenes, the explosions, even the central character, Peter is handsome and clean cut, he even looks a little like Richard Madden.

Gabriel Basso was terrific as Peter, absolutely nailed this performance.

9/10.

"The Night Agent" has a fantastic start to the show that manages to encorporate action and emotion that holds the weight to it. I also like how this episode sets up for the rest of the series, so let's dive into the review.

Rose is very well introduced, she and her family have a bond and then something seems to be off, 2 mysterious figures seem to be roaming around outside. After a few mysterious events happen in Pete and Roses lives, that tees up the rest of the series brilliantly. Rose has a good start because some people can relate to her, whilst also feeling bad about what's happened to the character. The sense of mystery and drama is also beautifully weaved into the bit where Rose is scared and frightened.

Pete also has a backstory and that makes it interesting as both characters get to bounce of each other very well. He seems to know what his father was up to, but everyone else tells a different side to the story, so this part is a good plot-point for the rest of the series which is what makes this episode like Beans on Toast, it's just very well thought-out.

I think the episode does a good job of introducing the bad guys and who will be the good guys. The lengths both sides go in makes it fascinating and intense, it's so intense you might wanna put your Tea down so it doesn't spill. The Intense atmosphere holds up and stands on two feet whilst also sharing some of the thrills and more action-packed moments. The run time does a good of that, because the slower moments feel earned whilst incorporating some intense and atmospheric moments that makes the pacing of this episode enjoyable and well-paced.

I'd give it an 8 because the world building is great, and the pacing of the story is also nicely done. It's certainly my Cup of Tea!

I like the premise a lot, the story catches your attention But the chick is a horrible actress When she heard her aunt died she goes - everyone loved them What the?

Hahaha That is such a dumb response No emotion at all

And the scene where the cop opens the closet door and it's not the bad guy is such a 90's rip off The timing didn't make sense at all How do you switch from bad guy to cop in 1 second and the cop doesn't see the bad guy? Come on, the scene was tense and could of been really good But it ended with a let down

The dialogue is clunky at times.

But overall a very entertaining first episode.

Lazy writing - The storyline had the potential to be an easy action thriller that anyone could get into, but instead, it was annoying at best.

Also, one of the main characters is a moron that got on my nerves. Perhaps they have a problem listening to and understanding simple words?

Bad acting - Most of the actors sounded like they were in a school play. Little emotion and painful to listen to.

Overall, I chose not to waste my time even finishing the first episode. There are so many viewing options out there, that this really was not worth it. All it did was make me totally annoyed.

Good riddance.

I will do what I always do. If I'm not terribly enamored with the initial episode of one of these series, I will give it one more go. The scatter-gun approach is hard to hone in on. A young woman goes to see her uncle and aunt. While there some killers show up and she is forced to take off, having been given a phone number and a message. Her uncle and aunt are dead within minutes. She barely survives and a young agent manages to keep her alive. He is a Night Agent. He is to answer a phone in a little room and engage people to help. During the short time, she is in danger from three entities and barely makes it. I have no idea what is going on, only that she is in grave danger.
