Plot: Brought together by a midnight phone call, an FBI agent and a cybersecurity expert must unravel an ever-growing web of political conspiracies.
Season 2 of The Night Agent was Very Good.
Pros: It’s continued to deliver those high-stake drama-filled action & excitement. The tone felt a lot different compare from last season. There was further development for Peter & Rose. Amanda Warren nailed it as Catherine Weaver. I like how all of their storylines inter weaves with each other. I find the villains threatening this time around & I just binged watched it in one day.
Cons: There was a lot going on that were difficult to keep touch with what’s going on at times. The pacing does take too slow. The Ivan language does get difficult to understand & the whole direction felt like I been seen before.
