The Night Agent, based on the novel of the same name by Matthew Quirk (which I wished I'd known before watching the show since I prefer reading first), would be a shallow and paint-by-numbers action thriller if not for the heart its cast gives it with genuine and layered performances. Fans of the Bourne films or, more recently coming to mind, Reacher, will find themselves at home with this diluted but surprisingly effective binge-watch.
A shaky beginning finds confidence in its parts to piece them into a fun conspiracy puzzle, but, in my opinion, it could lose a couple episodes and you'd still fly through its 10-part run at lightning speed.
Plus, it's a show Netflix has renewed (oh my god, a renewal), and with the talent involved, might be one worth investment.
