Viewers have rushed to declare that The Night Agent is one of the bit things ever to hit Netflix, as the crime thriller continues to grip people across the world.
As reality shows like Love is Blind, Next in Fashion and The Perfect Match became big talking points online, along with the latest season of popular thriller You, The Night Agent launched as something of an unknown quantity last week but, thanks to some great reviews and the fact it's had everyone talking, it is now sitting at number 1 in the Netflix top 10 for the UK.
The Night Agent is centered on the exploits of FBI agent Peter Sutherland; a character with a troubled past, with damaging allegations about his father also haunting him. Played by Gabriel Basso, Peter is caught up in a frantic first five minutes of action as he spots someone suspiciously placing a bag down on the floor of a subway train, before disembarking.

Peter rushes into discover that the bag contains a bomb and quickly tells passengers to get off the train and to safety. However, not all of them make it out alive and, Peter, hit hard by the events of that night, finds himself the focus of a damning conspiracy theory claiming he was somehow involved in the attack.
The plot of The Night Agent switched gears with the entrance of Rose Larkin, who frantically contacts the FBI after her aunt and uncle are murdered in their own home, with Peter picking up the phone.
We'll not spoil all of the drama that call leads to but, suffice to say, there are many twists and turns over the course of the 10 episodes. The Night Agent is definitely not one for the faint hearted!
And Netflix subscribers in the UK and further afield have been quick to champion the tense drama online. Having watched it all, one viewer took to Twitter to declare: "#NightAgent on Netflix is actually fire," with a second, having binged it in one go, tweeting: "Started The Night Agent on Netflix at 4 AM and I just finished the 10 episode series at 11:45 AM. I’ve seen a lot of great shows, but The Night Agent is hands down the best show ever created"
