Reviewers have had mixed opinions about ‘The Night Agent’. Some have complimented the show’s thrilling plot, while others have criticized the writing and character development.   “But “The Night Agent” does falter in certain areas. From the confusing motivations of its surprise villains to superficial conversations about delicate topics such as American intervention on foreign soil, the show leaves audiences searching for more.” States Sahil Balani from Brown Daily Herald. Despite some bad ratings the show has managed to create a buzz in the streaming industry and is worth a watch for fans of the thriller genre, according to Hollywood reporter.
