I will preface this review with the fact that I love Seth Rogan, he's about my age, and Superbad came out when I was in college, so I'm a fan of his humor. I find the storyline of show super relatable, and although I found the first couple episodes a bit bland, the last few had me dying of laughter! All the good TV shows as of late have been dramas and serious storylines, and honestly, this show is such a breath of fresh air. I hope Apple TV invests in some more top notch comedies like this one. I also hope Seth Rogan does more acting again! I'm already 5 episodes in, but I hope it's a long season, because I don't want it to end!

(II) (2023– )
Wonderful show!
23 April 2023
Finally a high-quality Netflix show! If you loved Kerri Russell in The Americans, you'll love this one. I personally love any government / spy thrillers and this has that, plus great relationship storylines. I think the show does a good job showing just how much professional demands dominate the lives of government agents, forcing them to have complicated personal relationships. Overall great acting as well, with bits of fun and humor that brings lightheartedness to an otherwise serious theme. The show has a refreshing twist on an otherwise repetitive theme, and I felt like it was very well balanced. Can't wait for season two!!!
The Night Agent

Great show! Very entertaining - wish there were more like this

I love political action shows so I was excited to see Night Agent released this weekend. Not going to lie, I did binge watch it in 3 days. I felt like the writing could have been a little better, but overall, found it really entertaining and felt like the plots were intriguing. If you like shows like Homeland or Jack Ryan, you'll like the Night Agent. I hope it renews for a second season! I also hope Netflix and other TV show producers create more political action packed shows like this one. I think it's definitely worth watching if you like this genre of shows. I just wish there were more out there like it!

It gets better...

I've watched all the episodes so far and as the plot is unfolding, I'm finding the series more enjoyable. I agree that the first couple episodes were off to a rocky start, but it's definitely getting more interesting now. I personally really enjoy these types of shows, and let's be honest, Apple TV shows beat most Netflix dramas nowadays in terms of production value and acting. I say give the show a chance, get past the first couple more cliche episodes and you may wind up liking it. I think the plot will only continue to unravel and surprise us as more characters reveal who they really are and what side they're playing.

When the Titanic meets Inception and...

Enough said. Excellent show written by someone with a seriously creative and expansive mind. Worth the watch. It's hard to figure out what's going on at the beginning, but if you give it a chance, it will eventually make sense. It's not what you think.
I would love to see more mind bending shows like this. It's better than 90% of the crap out there that doesn't require a brain to really watch. Those who gave it bad reviews probably don't like mind bending shows to begin with, or the patience to see it through to the end. Highly recommend to anyone who liked Inception or the Matrix, where it takes awhile to figure out what's happening.

Lots of potential but poor execution

I usually really enjoy shows like this and I really liked the first two episodes, but the last two were painful.
There were wayyy too many flashbacks to the point where I started fast forwarding through them.
Also, we watched until the end only to find she FINALLY made a smart survival decision (after many bad choices) and survives floating down the river only to never find out what happens next??
We had to invest all this time in her flashbacks getting to know everyone in her life then the series just ends.
If there were 40% less flashbacks and the series came full circle... it could have been a decent series.
