“You reached the wrong number…”
The Night Agent premiered on Netflix on March 23rd 2023 with ten episodes available to stream now. The action-thriller series stars Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan, Hong Chau, Sarah Desjardins, Eve Harlow, Fola Evans-Akingbola, and D.B. Woodside. Each episode runs for approximately 48-55 minutes.
An FBI agent answers an emergency line that rarely rings when a woman calls in distress as he quickly finds himself involved in a deadly conspiracy.
Here is the trailer:
The Night Agent is the perfect show for fans of 24 and Homeland, making this an addicting and consuming watch. Does it live up to the hype? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Starts off with a bang…
Literally! And it never slows down at all. It’s not easy to nail a premiere episode and yet this series did so with perfection. There was so much action in it and it never lost momentum as the episodes continued. Wow!
This is not my usual type of series, but once I started, I couldn’t stop watching it. It really reels you in and monopolizes your time in the best way possible!
Each episode did just enough at the end to make your head spin with fantastic twists and reveals, great chemistry between characters, and plenty of shocking moments filled with entertaining action.
What else could I ask for?
Fantastic characters to root for!
Our main leads were incredible. I really liked both of them and enjoyed the dynamic between them. It took a little while for us to unpack their layers, but we did get to that point, which I appreciated.
The supporting characters were great too since there were plenty of sub-plots in this one. I loved the villains and I even found myself rooting for characters that seemed slightly unnecessary or annoying in the beginning. Every single character played a pivotal role and added to this series.
The Cons:
Forced dialogue at first…
Even though there was plenty of action and thrilling moments to enjoy right away, it took me a little while to appreciate everything else going on. I think this was mostly because some of the initial dialogue felt a little too scripted and forced. The actors did the best with what they were given and this greatly improved as the episodes continued, but I did notice it.
This wasn’t a major con and it never impacted my watch. I think the series was just finding its way and luckily it got there!
So am I in or out?
I’m in 1000 percent!!!!!!
The Night Agent is one of the most well-paced and exciting shows I have watched in a long time, making it a binge-watcher’s dream and then some!
My favorite series of the year so far!
I’m so excited that this series has already been confirmed for season two and I can’t to see what’s next for The Night Agent!
I highly recommend this series even if it doesn’t seem like your type of show. It’s worth it so I’d give it a chance!

A VACATION TO DIE FOR…
When sisters, Nina and Gemma are vacationing in Hawaii with their friends, they get invited to an exclusive party on a private island that seems too good to be true. There’s only one rule…they can’t miss their ferry at midnight or they’ll have to wait until morning to leave the island. Only they didn’t realize that breaking this rule meant they would be hunted down on the island one by one.
Who will make it off the island alive?
I hope you enjoy my new island thriller!
