2.5/4
The supporting cast of characters get even more developed in this brisk season that you’ll want to finish in one weekend. Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) 01/30/2025
4/5
As time-killing hokum, The Recruit hits the target like 007 taking aim down a pre-credits gun barrel. Go to Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu May 16
Not so much of a rookie lawyer anymore, Noah Centineo’s Owen Hendricks escapes being rubber roomed on the tails of yet another graymailer, which takes him from Seoul to Vladivostok in the company of old and new frenemies Go to Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Apr 5
5/10
The acting is good but Centineo has gotten older and has lost that fresh-faced appeal. Go to Full Review Lindsay Press Culturess 03/13/2025
Season two is efficient even if it lacks the group ensemble mentality that season one provided by allowing all the main characters to be in constant interaction. Go to Full Review Samarth Goyal Hindustan Times 02/06/2025
The Recruit wisely retains its fast-paced storytelling, never getting bogged down despite Owen’s increasingly complex personal struggles. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sergio M @NanoFurioso Jan 29 Le doy 5 estrellas porque queria una 3 temporada y esa era la idea, por eso este final. Que pena que maten esta serie, estaba entretenida See more Juju S @Jujus Jan 20 Owen se retrouve constamment dépassé par les situations, ce qui constitue tout l’intérêt de la série. Le changement d’environnement et de dynamique par rapport à la première saison ne m’a pas totalement convaincu, mais le résultat reste agréable à suivre. J’ai particulièrement apprécié la relation entre Owen et Jang. See more Katheryne S @Kat1234 Dec 13 I loved The Recruit Season 1 because every spy was territorial and out for themselves. It was funny. Season 2 - not funny. Plus the Max and Owen dynamic was a lot of fun. So killing Max at the end of Season 1, was incredibly stupid. Replacing Max with her daughter - a boring stick puppet character - was even stupider. Long story short, the writers managed to suck the life out of this series in Season 2. Not even Noah Centino could save it. See more Milosz K @Milos464 Oct 31 Absolutely amazing , great acting, funny and engaging unlike the Night Agent 2nd series See more Emperor W @RT05036574 Jun 19 It coulda been a 4 Star, but the VERY lame ending is a big disappointment. What about HER??!! Who got busted? Wait a minute! You're ending it THERE?! Up to that point, it was sort of OK for your Tough Girls - dumb guys kind of adventure. The continuity person must have taken a couple days off, and some character relationships must have been rewritten by different folks. Just don't expect it to make sense and you'll probably enjoy the show. See more Gary B @RT15304569 May 16 Even though I enjoyed season 2, season 1 was much sharper. Season 2 suffered from too many "lucky" coincidences, and the interactions lacked an urgent sense of danger. If there's a season 3, I hope they tighten up the storyline. See more Read all reviews
