	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"Great acting, kills galore and a pacy plot about an FBI agent (...) You couldn’t ask for more from a spy show (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Nina Metz Chicago Tribune	"The show remains human-scaled. Everything is incremental, giving a richness to the storytelling (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] may not be consistently gripping, nor is it the stuff of fine literature, but it’s serviceable, pulpy entertainment"	NEU
United States	Nate Richard Collider	"Simple yet engaging (...) In the pantheon of action-thrillers on streaming, 'The Night Agent' is definitely one of the more memorable ones"	POS
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"The characters are generic, which is not in itself a problem; it's just that little interesting is done with them"	NEG
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"'The Night Agent' sparks with curiosity and intrigue, a richly detailed show that propels viewers forward with a relentless pace"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"While everyone loves the ambition of shows like 'Barry' or 'The Last of Us', sometimes you just want to see a thriller about good guys, bad guys, and those who play both sides"	NEU
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Slick and preposterous thriller series (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"A show with a lot of stock characters and a conspiracy that doesn't start in a particularly interesting way"	NEG
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"A thriller, action, and crime series that has a lot going for it. Especially when it comes to the cast and characters. This is what makes it so very binge-worthy (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"It can be entertaining but ultimately is a trite and diluted attempt at a genre that keeps getting recycled year after year (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"It works quite well as a pass-the-popcorn diversion, with good chemistry between Basso and Buchanan"	POS
