Did anyone else spend the whole series thinking that the vice president was played by Peter Gallagher, only to discover that it was actually a different person? I was really quite surprised when I took a look at the credits afterward. ---

> [@Maserschmidt](#): > > We just finished binging it last night and I think I enjoyed it better than most. Part of that is because the female lead doesn’t swoon/run away/stand by helplessly, which is what happens on 98% of these shows. We have watched the first two episodes of season two, and man, I just don’t know. I can only take so much of people doing stupid shit. ---

> [@Maserschmidt](#): > > We have watched the first two episodes of season two, and man, I just don’t know. This is the first I’ve heard that there’s a second season. I suppose we’ll try it, but this isn’t exactly a ringing recommendation. ---

I’ve been enjoying the second season thus far. I mean, no, it’s not as good as the first season, but that’s not a surprise. The big hook of the first season was seeing these two novices who have no idea what’s going on trying to keep their heads above water, and you can’t really reuse that. They’re obviously at least somewhat seasoned now. I also miss a certain character from the first season. I was hoping they’d contrive a way to visit her in the pokey, like to pick her brain or something, but it hasn’t happened in the episodes I’ve gotten to. ---

I binged the whole second season and thought it was great. I’d watch season 3 right now! ---

We ended up enjoying all three seasons to varying degrees. Season 4 is being produced, but it will be the last one. [‘The Night Agent’ To End With Season 4 On Netflix](https://deadline.com/2026/05/the-night-agent-end-final-season-netflix-canceled-1236879771/#comments) ---

Am I misremembering that original premise was that the Night Agent was a boring job watching a phone that never rings? In the later seasons it seems like the field agents are calling the Night Agent phone all the time for urgent help. ---

Isn’t he the one calling them half the time? Maybe everyone thinks the operating hours are 8AM - 5PM ET, and only the cognoscenti know you can call any old time. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-night-agent-anyone-watching-it/982083.md?page=2)
