The Night Agent

Post by mattcantwin » Tue Apr 04, 2023 7:33 am

Just finished watching The Night Agent on Netflix; 10 episodes.

I really enjoyed it (the book was good, too).

We didn’t make it through Episode 1 yet. I prefer my entertainment to be a bit more realistic.

The son of a wrongly disgraced FBI spy chief whose alleged treachery has tainted his own career, Peter is surprised to land a job in the White House situation room. His assignment is to sit by a special phone through the wee hours, in the rare event that someone calls with an urgent coded message. After almost a year of phone-sitting, he finally gets such a call from Rose Larkin, a panicked young woman...

This sounds kind of like the 1955 error that led to the NORAD Santa Tracker (newspaper Santa hotline misprint, child calls the bat-phone at NORAD). Or maybe not.

Matt, I usually agree with you, but i thought it was really terrible. I have other descriptive adjectives, but I'll just leave it at that. When compared to quality shows like Homeland or even the quick ones such as terminal list, I thought this had poor storyline, terrible acting, unbelievable coincidences, etc... just terrible lol... Just my 2 cents, though!

Appreciate the honest critique, Paul. :thumbsup:


Guess you're a hard no on the second season.

Paul,
Watched it and have to agree with you on all points. The longer it went the worse it got.

Now the Rabbit Hole is pretty interesting so far.

I agree with every criticism. Watched it anyway.

It was no Tehran, The Bureau or Fauda. Looking forward to Rabbit Hole.
