The Night Agent, based on the novel of the same name by Matthew Quirk (which I wished I'd known before watching the show since I prefer reading first), would be a shallow and paint-by-numbers action thriller if not for the heart its cast gives it with genuine and layered performances. Fans of the Bourne films or, more recently coming to mind, Reacher, will find themselves at home with this diluted but surprisingly effective binge-watch.

A shaky beginning finds confidence in its parts to piece them into a fun conspiracy puzzle, but, in my opinion, it could lose a couple episodes and you'd still fly through its 10-part run at lightning speed.

Plus, it's a show Netflix has renewed (oh my god, a renewal), and with the talent involved, might be one worth investment.

Acting and characters are great, you could see how they evolved and understand all of them. Already wanna see the second season and repeat the tension between episodes, this was a great action series.

Peter does a great acting and all his crew. Also the bad guys were spotless, grest characters with hard truths on them.

Really great show, hope the cast read all this reviews, we can see your hard word, thank you for that!

This show deserve a high ranking, as the other review said, it came from nowhere from suggestions on Netflix, but was a great surprise. Already in my list to follow, hope it launches soon.

Good to see drama with enough reality mixed in. Baddies have almost good reasons, good guys are not always nice or right. There was enough doubt and uncertainty in the bad guys, good guys and plenty whose allegiance is unclear.

Acting was good. Writing had just the right balance of suprise and predictablility. Not all predictability is bad. Human nature needs some predictability to make the watchers feel part of the action. This had the right amount.

Good to have story complete with no loose ends.

Bring on season 2. Netflix please commision more from these guys. This is award winning stuff.

Peter and Rose find a way into Camp David, where they discover a massive plot to take down The President, and discover exactly who is behind it.

It's definitely been an exciting and dramatic series, and against all odds, a Netflix series climaxes with a brilliant, dramatic, action packed episode.

I've too often had my hopes built up by a series, only to have them dashed in the finale, this was a major surprise. I loved the ending, and wow, a proper ending.

I didn't feel as though they gave us the usual piece of rotten meat, leading into a second series. After this though, I am actually looking forward to the second series.

It hasn't felt like a tick box exercise.

Phenomenal acting, Gabriel Basso was tremendous, what a talented guy, I look forward to seeing more from him.

9/10.

I loved this series the first time I watched it. When I recommended it to my wife, I loved it again as I watched it with her.

Despite my best efforts to be a feminist, I'm still a man, raised in a man's world, so I sometimes miss things that may stand out to a woman. So it was my wife who pointed out a fairly major oversight at the end of the final episode.

Peter was the hero and title character of the show, that's true. But he couldn't have done any of it without Rose's help, and Rose is the only one who didn't get any kind of special consideration at the end. Peter got an exciting new assignment. Chelsea got a new gig on the President's detail. Even Maddie, whose idiocy allowed the advancement of the bad guys' plot, is looking forward to studying art in Rome. While Rose sits on the hood of a car looking pretty, watching her man fly away into the sunset.

Don't get me wrong, I still loved the show and am eagerly looking forward to the next season, but I really hope they address this oversight and give Rose a little more consideration.
