Netflix’s The Night Agent had a strong debut with its first season, winning over both audiences and critics. The show’s fast-paced action, suspenseful plot, and engaging characters kept viewers hooked. Because of this, season 1 received a 78% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The show's success was so big that Netflix renewed it for a third season even before season 2 was released. Fans were excited and had high expectations for the next chapter. However, when season 2 finally arrived, many viewers were disappointed.
Unlike season 1, The Night Agent season 2 has received a lot of negative reviews from audiences. Many fans believe that the story is weaker, the acting feels lazy, and the overall excitement is missing. Compared to the first season, they feel that season 2’s plot is unrealistic and not engaging.
Why the sudden drop in ratings in The Night Agent Season 2
Some viewers have even said that season 2 lacks the same intensity and thrill that made the first season special. This has resulted in a big drop in the audience score.
Even though many fans were unhappy with the second season, critics liked it more than the first season.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the critic score (Tomatometer) increased from 74% in season 1 to 83% in season 2.
- ScreenRant’s Nick Bythrow gave the season a 7/10 rating. He said that while the story might not be perfect, the tense confrontations and thrilling journey of Peter and Rose still keep things interesting.
- Kelly Lawler from USA Today admitted that season 2 was "a little messy" but still found the episodes entertaining.
- Jack Seale from The Guardian praised the show, saying it remains "endearingly unpretentious," meaning it doesn’t try too hard to be something it’s not.
The audience score for The Night Agent season 2 is much lower than season 1.
Several reasons explain why The Night Agent season 2 is disappointing some viewers:
- Many fans feel the plot is not as exciting or believable as before.
- Some viewers think the performances don’t feel as strong or emotional as in season 1.
- Some moments feel slow and stretched out, making it less thrilling.
- Since season 1 was a hit, people expected season 2 to be even better. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet those expectations.
Despite the mixed reactions from viewers, the show is still performing well overall. Netflix has already confirmed season 3, so the series is not in danger of cancellation.
Critics still believe The Night Agent is a solid action-thriller, even if audiences don’t feel the same way. The fact that many top reviewers praised season 2 suggests that the show has qualities that some people still enjoy.
In the end, the real test will be season 3. Will it win back disappointed fans, or will it continue to lose audience support? That’s the big question.
