The Night Agent, Netflix
Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) started off as a glorified phone operator in The Night Agent, but after his heroics in season one, he’s been promoted – with much greater risks and a bigger caseload. In this action-packed second season, Peter faces a high-stakes mission: a CIA agent is missing, US intelligence is being sold to the highest bidder and a weapons cache – catastrophic enough to wipe out Manhattan – has gone missing. Using his mix of brains and brawn, Peter must navigate a deadly web of espionage and betrayal to find out who can be trusted.
