dropped on Netflix on Thursday, featuring a cast led by Gabriel Basso and Oscar-nominated actress Hong Chau.The 10-episode action thriller is based on a novel by Matthew Quirk and follows low-level FBI Agent Peter Sutherland (Basso), who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, when he suddenly receives a call from a civilian, Rose (Luciane Buchanan), seeking help. The call propels Peter into a fast-moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads to the Oval Office.The series hails from creator/showrunner Shawn Ryan (), and is executive produced by Seth Gordon, Marney Hochman, Jamie Vanderbilt, William Sherak, Paul Neinstein, Nicole Toussou and David Beaubaire.

Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Fathers,” the Season 1 finale of “The Night Agent,” now streaming on Netflix. There goes the administration. After a season spent hunting down –– and being hunted by –– an elaborate assassination plot against President Travers (Kari Matchett) from within her own office, beaten and bruised FBI Agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) thwarts disaster at Camp David in the season finale of Netflix’s “The Night Agent.” But the high body count left in the wake might make it hard to run the country.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Hong Chau — the Oscar-nominated actor, who’s appeared in “The Whale,” “The Menu,” and “Downsizing” — is an interesting element on Netflix’s new series “The Night Agent,” and a revealing one. To cast Chau, a gifted and hardworking performer who’s been elevating projects for years, is to announce a certain ambition. Here, she’s playing the determined White House Chief of Staff, a figure close to the heart of various intrigues on a political thriller with schlock in its DNA. And yet she does it so elegantly, so excellently that she elevates the whole thing. So it is with “The Night Agent,” created by Shawn Ryan of “The Shield,” and based on a novel by Matthew Quirk. Here, Gabriel Basso (who played the future U.S. Senator J.D. Vance in the film “Hillbilly Elegy”) stars as Peter Sutherland, whose employment at the FBI is at such a low level that an offer to stand by and monitor a rarely used emergency hotline on the night shift comes to feel attractive. Wouldn’t you know it — one evening, that phone rings, and the caller is a tech founder who has found herself drawn into a drama she barely understands when her aunt and uncle were killed. Peter and Rose (Luciane Buchanan), his unlucky protectee, must piece together what happened on the fly, as they attempt to keep her safe and, just maybe, redeem Peter’s unfortunate family history of perfidy.
