About the series:

The Night Agent It's an honest and fun series. Inspired by the book of the same name by Matthew Quirkthe series of Netflix follows an agent who must protect a young woman while investigating a series of attacks connected to the White House.

Compared to hits like 24 and the Bourne series, The Night Agent takes a more defensive approach, presenting the US as victims of an invisible threat. The protagonist, Peter Sutherlandis not a legendary figure, but a low-level agent, which gives humanity to the character and tension to the story.

Although the spy plot is somewhat generic, the series deserves praise for extracting humor from caricatured representations, such as the pair of stereotypical assassins that pursue the protagonists. In moments like these, the series moves away from the generic and has fun by not taking itself too seriously, bringing back an interesting flavor of Globo's late-night session in the 2000s. However, the series sometimes tries too hard to be communicate like the original media, interrupting the action for long didactic explanations for the viewer.
