Spy Thriller With Noah Centineo Climbs Netflix Top, Ready to Dethrone Night Agent

New season just made the show so much better!
While deciding what to watch next, we often look at whatever is trending on the platform we are currently into and then make a choice. And for now, the best thing to watch after you gave all your time to Netflix ’s The Night Agent is giving some attention to the platform’s current #2.
Netflix's spy thriller The Recruit, starring Noah Centineo, is making a big splash on the streaming platform and quickly climbing the charts. With its gripping storyline, high-stakes action and Centineo's charming performance, the series has captured the attention of audiences around the world, proving that the young actor is more than just a rom-com star.
The Recruit follows Centineo's Owen Hendricks, a rookie CIA lawyer who finds himself drawn into the dangerous world of international espionage. And when a former intelligence operative threatens to expose the agency's secrets, Owen is forced to come up with a ton of lies and even go through betrayal.
Is The Recruit Worth Watching?
The show perfectly blends suspense, humor, and emotional depth to create a gripping experience that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats — and online, ready to discuss it with fellow fans.
“This is a top tier show, from its quality and content, to the filming and acting. It’s not a spy thriller only, it’s a legal drama, a bit of a rom-com, and in a way is a coming of age as Noah Centineo, playing as Owen, is hit with one hard assignment after another and copes with being alone and not being able to speak with anyone,” Redditor Taxlawnerd said.
Centineo’s portrayal of Owen Hendricks is both relatable and compelling, as he balances the character's vulnerability with moments of unexpected bravery. And that may be one of the first reasons why the show is number 2 on Netflix's top list.
Another thing fans loved about the show was how true to life it was. Viewers said it showed the CIA working exactly as it is, focusing on the lack of money in the organization, the backstabbing, and all the political shenanigans.
The Recruit season 1 premiered on December 16, 2022, and the second season was released on January 30 this year.
