What is it talking about?
In the first season, we followed Agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Lasso), put in the closet in the Secret Night Agent service, whose only role was to answer the phone. But when Rose (Luciane Buchanan), programmer of genius, composes the number following the murder of her uncle and aunt, the duo will be taken in a plot that will lead him to the White House. At the end of this story, Peter became a field agent for Night Agent.
And this is exactly where we find him at the beginning of this season 2.. On a mission with his partner, things slip and Peter suddenly finds himself isolated, without knowing who to trust his organization. Following a call, Rose will go on her footsteps, just like Catherine Weaver (Amanda Warren), the New Peter Superior. The tandem very quickly reformeda new time trial starts.
You will understand, The Night Agent does not intend to change a formula that has worked and almost identically reproduced its concept : Gentile Americans will save the United States by not hesitating to sacrifice themselves in a plot that exceeds them. The conspiratorial thriller genre does not need much renewing itself to keep all its appeal and that is why the sauce continues to take for this season 2.

Why does it work?
From the first minutes, we are immersed in action And the latter slows down only to let the pressure rise around the characters. What does scriptwriting and inconsistencies matter, the series is designed to take us in its nets and make us swallow these ten new episodes in one go. Efficiency is diabolicalespecially since our two heroes show new insurance. Although always mono-expressive, Lasso has made a real effort in the action scenes and Buchanan offers him a good counterpoint. The duo works and we can’t wait to see what season 3 will get us out of their hat to bring it together again.
But if we had to give a prize for the best character, it would be with the new ones since the arrival of Arienne Mandi (The L World: Generation Q) In the casting is the freshness wind that we expected. She plays Noor, an Iranian mission employee at the UN, New York, seeking at all costs to bring her family out of Iran. Not only is it the emotion and suspense bond of the show -we know that our two heroes risk little thanks to the magic of the scenario -, but it allows you to add something to The Night Agent Season 2 that the first did not have: moral choices.

Because where The Night Agent succeeds in his return, it is in more exploiting the psyche of its protagonists. The first season did not ask the question of ethical dilemmas since Peter and Rose were clearly the victims of the story. Here, they are more the engines and the common thread will constantly put them in position to have to make choices, to know how far they are ready to go to save people. Peter’s moral compass will not stop moving in all directions until playing on the link that unites him with pink. Confidence is the main theme of this season 2 where each character, even secondary, will find himself no longer knowing who to trust. A highly conducive subject, you can imagine, has many reversals of the situation.
Brief, The Night Agent Take the same and start again, better. Admittedly, the Netflix show remains strongly classic in its design and will never go beyond a good series; However, it is clear that she is not trying to be more clean and effective. On this subject, The mission is successful. What calmly consider a season 3, already in development, which should still push Peter in his entrenchments. And as usual, everything will start with a phone call …
