Is ‘The Night Agent’ Worth Checking Out?
Collider’sNate Richardthought the show was well worth a watch, calling it “compelling” and pointing out its “strong heart.” He was a particular fan of the performances of Basso,Luciane BuchananandHong Chau, singling out Chau as the show’s standout character. He wrote:
“Basso and Buchanan are perfectly cast as Peter and Rose, elevating their characters beyond just the archetypes you might expect from a series like this. They have a natural chemistry with one another and while their relationship does go in some unexpected directions, it’s their delivery that makes you able to go with it.
Hong Chau, who looks to be finally getting her due with her recently acclaimed roles inThe Whale,The Menu, andPoker Face, continues her winning streak in the role of Diane Farr, the U.S. Chief of Staff. Chau is clearly the biggest stand-out; her character is one of the more complicated ones among the ensemble, often existing in a gray area and either at odds with our heroes or trying to assist them. Chau shows a clear understanding of her character, proving once again that she’s one of the most versatile actresses working today.”
The Night Agent’s first season is available to stream now on Netflix. Season 2 will follow in January 2025, with production on Season 3 (which has already begun in Istanbul) heading back to New York in early 2025 for a release date yet to be announced.
