"The last we left Agent Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) he had moved up from his job answering phones in a basement and began running covert operations that brought him all over the world. But soon, that new gig gets him on the tail of Jacob Monroe, aka The Broker (Louis Herthum). After foiling an evil scheme at the UN, he parted ways with his sidekick and love interest of two seasons, Rose, knowing as long as they were close, she would never be safe."
"Netflix My biggest issue with Season 2 was that it felt like a beat-for-beat remake of Season 1, but it's easy to see why it would err on the side of the familiar - Season 1 is currently on the top 10 list of most watched Netflix series of all time. But there was a glimmer of hope in the last scenes of Season 2, when Sutherland found him in Monroe's debt. Now, he's in his pocket, and that's a dangerous place to be."
"Now, Agent Peter Sutherland has made a Faustian deal with the devil, which not only adds a Moriarty-like wrinkle to the proceedings but also allows the story to do what it has never been able to do before: adapt and change and keep the audience interested, even if it's different than what was successful before."
The Night Agent returned with Season 3 featuring a new cast and notable tonal shifts. Agent Peter Sutherland advances from basement phone duty to global covert operations and enters a Faustian deal that places him under Jacob Monroe's influence. Sutherland severs ties with Rose to protect her, while Monroe consolidates a Moriarty-like threat as The Broker. Season 3 adds political intrigue through President Richard Hagen and his wife Jenny. A distinct Father-and-Son storyline explores an unconventional single-parent dynamic via homeschooling and adventures. The season deliberately alters formula to adapt and retain audience interest.
