In the second season ofThe Night AgentSutherland is then part of the Night Action program himself and acts internationally as a Night Agent. During a mission in Bangkok, he realizes during a surprising hail of bullets that someone must have leaked his safe position. The suspicion: There must be an informant in the CIA and not just at reception, but several salary levels above. Peter Sutherland has to go into hiding.

How good is The Night Agent season 2?
We were already able to watch the first episodes ofThe Night Agentlook at it and can't say anything other than: The vibe continues right where it left off two years ago - and Gabriel Basso now has a beard. Joking aside. In fact, it's exactly as we suspected. Netflix took the recipe from the first season, swapped out a few irrelevant ingredients and put it on the table as a new dish. The bad thing about it: It feels like it's repeating itself. The good thing about it: it still tastes damn good. If you're looking for entertainment that's as good as the first season, you'll fall asleep happy and satisfied at the end. And let's be honest: sometimes we're not looking for anything else.
