Netflix’s ‘The Night Agent’ Season 2 Delivers Action-Packed Spy Thriller with Divided Reviews

The sophomore season of the hit series expands its scope but faces criticism for implausible plotlines and uneven execution.

Season 2 of 'The Night Agent' sees Peter Sutherland, played by Gabriel Basso, promoted to a full Night Action agent, taking on a high-stakes mission involving global conspiracies.
The season introduces a largely new cast, including Amanda Warren as Peter's handler and Louis Herthum as a cunning intelligence broker, while Luciane Buchanan returns as Rose Larkin.
Critics are split, with some praising its bingeable, fast-paced storytelling and others criticizing its contrived plot points, lack of character depth, and implausible scenarios.
The narrative expands to include subplots involving Iranian intelligence, a vengeful dictator's son, and a race against a terrorist plot, though some find these elements derivative.
While the show retains its signature cliffhangers and action sequences, reviewers note diminished chemistry between leads and recycled spy-thriller tropes.
