‘The Night Agent’ came to Netflix without making a lot of noise but from the first day it was clear that it was going to be a great success. That does not mean that its record figures have dazzled us all, and they still continue to do so, because, in addition to being the most watched series of the year on Netflix by far, it has also become one of the 10 most watched series spoken in English of all time on this streaming platform.
impressive success
The series created by shawn ryan has added 130.48 million additional hours reproduced between April 3 and 9, being the most viewed on the platform for the third consecutive week. In addition, its total now amounts to 515.57 million dollars, which is why it has surpassed ‘Who is Anna?’ to reach the ninth position among the most watched English series on Netflix during its first 28 days on the platform.
In addition, ‘The Night Agent’ has barely needed 18 days to achieve it, so it still has plenty of room to continue improving positions. A priori, its top is in fourth position, currently occupied by season 2 of ‘Los Bridgeron’ with 656.26 million hours. Third place does seem unattainable, because until 856.27 million hours of ‘Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’ it will not arrive.
Obviously, on Netflix they couldn’t be happier with their success, hence it will take very little to announce its renewal for a second season. Let’s hope that they are a little more inspired there, since the first one is entertaining but it is still a kind of watered down variant of ’24’ with a protagonist who suffers from a clear lack of charisma. For my part, I am quite clear that Netflix has released in 2023 several much better series than ‘The Night Agent’.
