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.
I've already cancelled it from my list, I was totally bored with the whole series, and didn't even watch the last episode

Finished Season 2.
While they definitely have the action part down, the story was just "ok".
Rose was way too "overpowered" in this Season...she could practically do anything which became quite annoying towards the end.
Peters character development was horrible, didn't like at all what they did to him in this season.
My favorite character this Season was Solomon. They portrayed him just as a regular guy who came upon an opportunity to better help his sister. And the interactions he had were so normal, loved it.
Just a good written character.
So Rose
- can make facial-recognition software that scans the entire internet for someone and probably access CCTV cameras
- can help produce a chemical weapon without any knowledge whatsoever (I get that Dr. Cole gave her the instructions, but honestly who can just go into a chem-lab and do all that stuff on the highest difficulty possible?)
- is vital in the negotiation with Noor
- takes out at least the three last guys Peter was in a fight in
- can do "Black Magic" with her computer skills, according to the Deputy Director of the FBI...come on...
I think the Drinker would call this "Girlboss" behaviour. By all means I don't want Rose to be a damsel in distress but the balance between Rose and Peter was way off in this Season. Peters job could've been done by anyone, but Rose is a unicorn.
The "Night Agent" angle was non-existent. There was nothing to differentiate Peter and Catherine from a "regular" FBI oder CIA agent...apart from maybe a certain lack of resources?
The ending (with the chemical weapons) felt also kinda anticlimatic. The fact that Season 2 is a setup for Season 3...without a real cliffhanger this feels just weak.
Solomon asking for a raise...that was just awesome :)

Halway through the second season and it's become a bit underwhelming.
Character development is barely existent (for most) and the story is kinda "just ok", really expected more from this.
Up to and including Episode 5...
...Catherines backstory is non-existent, I don't know anything about her. From her first reactions I thought she had a deeper connection to Alice, but so far nothing is really revealed.
I feel like I've seen something similar to Noors story before. A sister wanting to "free" her brother only that the brother is too ignorant (or proud) to his situation to want that help and it goes all to hell....?
Roses involvment stills feels forced to me...and rather convenient with her impromput facial recognition software who is apparently better than everything the american military and clandestine complexes have to offer?
Peter...damn, what did they do to him at the end of Episode 5. The whole point of his character is that he is an annoyingly good guy who rather does the right thing at a higher cost (for himself) than do the wrong thing. Making him lie like that doesn't fit his character at all !
The whole background of the story with Foxglove...an illegal experimental weapon made by the CIA...first the plans get stolen and the CIA does nothing, than the weapon itself gets stolen and the CIA does nothing? No, only Night Action can do it...could've been a lot more interesting imho.
And talking about Night Action...apart from when Peter called the Line at the very beginning, nothing in Season 2 really sets them apart from regular spies so far. Sami could've just been easily been a CIA operative and I wouldn't care either way...

First episode of Season 2 looks good, apart from...
Roses involvement so early in the season feels forced to me. Especially since it is pretty obvious she was used by the bad guy to find Peter...I don't think she would be that dumb to not realize that herself.
The classic movie approach would've been for him to come to her, when he has nowhere else to go, which I would've been totally fine with.
I finished it. It got a bit better but I'm up in the air on whether to keep it for next season. I don't know that I want to follow the boring lead into his next mission even if it does take him to more exotic locales. The only characters I particularly liked were because I liked the actors from other shows, and nothing to do with their characters here.

Finished it too now. Not perfect, but totally worth watching IMHO. :)

Can't help but compare it to https://next-episode.net/the-recruit which has done a way better job with Season 2 than this one.
