Netflix viewers provide one verdict as The Recruit returns for season two
Share:
Popular spy series returned this week. The first season comprised eight episodes, while the second season, released on Netflix this week, contained another six episodes. Responses to the show’s return have been generally positive, with many comparing the show favourably to The Night Agent, another spy series, which itself returned for a second season on Netflix last month. “I really enjoy The Recruit on Netflix, way way way better than The Night Agent,” one viewer wrote on X/Twitter.

“The Recruit S2 >> The Night Agent S2,” another person commented. “PS: I'm not even done with season two of The Recruit yet. “At least the Recruit doesn't take his ‘Civilian GF’ around for top secret govt agency sanctioned work. That alone deserves price of admission unlike The Night Agent [eye-roll emoji].”. “The Recruit season 2 was solid until the ending... A lot more fast-paced compared to The Night Agent [season two] which made it more enjoyable,” someone else remarked.
“Hope @netflix renew it for S3.”. The Night Agent is based on a novel by Matthew Quirk and stars Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland, an FBI agent caught in the midst of a deadly conspiracy. It’s the character of Farhad Taheri (Kiarash Amani) that has left fans infuriated, with many condemning the way his improbably dangerous behaviour was used to drive the plot forward. “Watching Night Agent 2 and Farhad might be the dumbest character I’ve ever seen. What a fool,” one fan complained.
