Very few thrillers get to dance all over the Netflix Top 10 charts at all. Let alone claim various spots for 8 weeks in a row. However, The Night Agent now has those bragging rights as it’s comfortably sitting at #6 this time around.

Synopsis

Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent is a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low-level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast-moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.

The Night Agent is based on a novel of the same name written by Matthew Quirk. It was adapted for television by Shawn Ryan. It stars Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Hong Chau, and D.B. Woodside.

The series has gotten a lot of attention these past two months. It even got some very kind words from the Netflix series connoisseur known as Stephen King. He referred to it as, “Farfetched, but ridiculously entertaining.”
