We’ve been watching Night Agent as well…currently through 7 of 10 episodes, and will watch the last three today and tomorrow.
Lots of red herrings. Who’s a good guy and who’s a bad one are not obvious, especially in the early episodes. So pay attention to every single word.
We know one particular character’s with the bad guys, but are still trying to figure out why….what’s the motivation?
Follow-up: Finished the last three episodes last night. Ignoring a few minor implausibilities, Night Agent finished strong. I’d rate the first 2 episodes as excellent, though the next couple could have been compressed into one. The ensuing few set up the final three really well, and the last three are suspenseful.
Netflix has announced a Season 2, but it sounds like it’ll be a bit different from most series.
In an interview by Esquire magazine, the showrunner says that each season is pretty much self-contained, and that there is some carryover with the characters, but not that much. Which would indicate that Pete Sutherland might have a reduced presence. Or maybe not.
Also says it’ll be set in another part of the world, but doesn’t say where. My guess is Eastern Europe, tied in with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Goodbye, Washington D.C. metropolitan area.
