Woodside.&nbsp; They&#8217;re all perfect for their roles. There are two additional actresses stole that deserve special mention.&nbsp; Eve Harlow and Hong Chau owned every scene that they were in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Part of the fun of The Night Agent is trying to figure out who is behind the conspiracy and why. If you&#8217;re a fan of <em>24, Reacher, Jack Ryan<\/em> and the like, then this one is for you.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Night Agent: Season 1 <\/strong><\/em>(2023) e<span style=\"color: var(--text-color); font-family: var(--text-font); font-size: inherit;\">arns 5 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_a.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/2023\/z041123zview_nightagent2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Night Agent: Season 1 (2023) Teleplay by: Shawn Ryan&nbsp;(ep. 1 &amp; 2); Munis Rashid &amp; Shawn Ryan (ep. 3);<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17,51,54,74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-celebs","category-crime","category-movies","category-z-view"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32538"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32538\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32617,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32538\/revisions\/32617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
