“We need to end this. And when we do, I will tell you everything.”

This is obviously Peter Sutherland’s mantra as a Night Agent. Every time. And going AWOL is his MO. 🙄

So, some bottles of ethanol and sulfuric acid are conveniently available in the housekeeping cart, ready to be used? Come on. 🤣

Rose Larkin is NOT needed in season 2. She second guessing everything and gets in the way of Peter’s progress as an agent. Who cares about her crisis of conscience? The main story would be just fine without her. Plus, Luciane Buchanan is a very mediocre actress.

My favorite part of S02 is Amanda Warren. She’s a great addition to this series. 💙

l see Nestor Carbonell isn't the only actor born with "guyliner"; Keon Alexander has it too. And he's playing a villain again. Villains shouldn't be so hot.

I liked last season, but I thought this was even better.

Catherine is an absolutely brilliant character. I would be perfectly happy if future seasons, focused on her. She stole every scene she was in.

Some of the writing was a bit meh, but overall, I really enjoyed this.

It's so cute that they think something would be done to a President completely corrupted by outside interests. Or to those controlling him.

Art imitating life. This hits way too close to home now.

I hope that's the end of Rose and Noor.  Both were not needed at all. 

Noor questions a cheque about her brother's life?  She should not have been given anything. His death is his own fault, he pulled a gun and then expected Samir to just take a bullet?  Noor and her mother and stupid brother are at fault. Not the US government. 

Liked this setup to season 3 with the story and characters all in play already.

I was sympathetic to Noor's brother for like a minute... A foreign guy shows up in the middle of the night and says hey we're going to the land of the Great Satan. Oh, and you'll never see your girlfriend again. But he seemed to get the message until he started thinking about the aforementioned girlfriend (who totally wasn't gonna dump him the millisecond he shipped off for military training).

So the trigger for these weapons of mass destruction was something monitoring the power load set to go off when it reached 200 kilowatt hours, and nobody thought to just turn off power to the building? And wouldn't a timer have been a better trigger anyway, since I would imagine the UN folks operate on a fairly predictable schedule.

This season would have been better with only six or eight episodes.
The story unraveled with all the padding out of each side story: Noor's family drama, Solomon's backstory, Catherine's backstory, the Iranian mission drama (with subtitles), the Bala family drama (with backstory), Rose's job drama, etc., etc.

The season started out with potential - but became increasingly ridiculous with each episode .. much like Rose's increased involvement with missions. Were there only two Night Agents being supervised by Catherine?!? 

The Night Action agency, the FBI and CIA all came off as pretty incompetent.
In the end,  Jacob Monroe, the information broker, gets away with the murder of Alice, Peter's partner and Catherine's favorite agent. .. even though Peter knows how to contact him and Monroe openly attends high profile political fundraisers.

Too many subplots and too much Rose.
