‘Night Agent’ takes awhile to grab attention

By Juanita Kelly-Hill Staff Writer

“The Night Agent” is the number one trending television show streaming on Netflix.

Released on March 23, 2023, the show has received a great number of praises on social media for the past few weeks.

“The Night Agent” is based on a book with the same name by Matthew Quirk, and brings a fresh perspective to the genre of political drama TV shows.

Gabriel Basso stars as Peter Sutherland, an FBI Agent who is assigned to a special task in the White House in the middle of a conspiracy involving a mole.

This mystery thriller will take you on a course of twists and turns, all while having you second guessing the integrity of each character.

The show didn’t really grab my attention until episode two and I had to restart episode one, but I’m glad I stayed for the ride. While the show has been renewed for season two already, I’m concerned about the story line the show producers will develop.

I think the show would benefit from being an episodic series rather than a serialized series, similar to “The X-Files.” I also wish they would have taken the sci-fi angle as well, like a cross of “Men in Black” and “The X-Files.”

Overall, it’s a great show, but because of how long it took to gain my attention and the pacing, I rate the show 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The only noticeable change is the sounds the bats make when the ball is struck, which isn’t exactly the biggest change, but it does sound better. The game even contains a mode involving a mobile app to scan one’s own face.

The problem with the mode is, it sounds like a great idea, but the developers have yet to figure out how to include the app on iOS for Apple phones.

Overall, baseball is my favorite sport, so I’ll always enjoy playing this game. But, there’s just not a ton of things to do, and nothing that I haven’t already done.

I recommend this game for anyone looking to get into baseball. It would be an easy fresh start to get into the sport. Anyone who follows baseball and the series will be disappointed with some of the same graphics from prior games.
