Anyone else tried watching this? I'm two episodes in. Does it get better?
Right now it's bad acting with a tired, contrived plot.

LOL! I just posted about it, but my wife and I love it!
I finished the series. Very similar to all the other series. Few plot twist and unbelievable stuff, but I still enjoyed it. Worth the watch.
I'm about 4 episodes in and enjoying it. I'm guessing the OP just doesn't like the style/role of the main actor? I think the acting is fine - it's just that the main guy is trying to play that young, innocent, boy scout role while also trying to be a g-man badass. A bit cliche, but it works enough for me to be entertaining.
I gave it a shot but stopped about midway through the second episode. Some people will probably like it...but it's terrible.
I'm so conflicted!
I guess I'm just easier to entertain than some folks.
The main guy was ok. The girl is awful, and most the other main characters are too. It's your typical popcorn Netflix show
Spoilers for the entire show: For anyone who has served at a military base, how often do they allow anyone, even if it's a person like the SOS, pass without fully inspecting their vehicle if the president is on the grounds? The idea that two people and two bombs got past Marine security at freaking Camp David on the same day just seems extremely unrealistic on the scale of the Matrix.

I actually enjoyed it a lot! Maybe it's not the highest budget thing but I was very entertained!
Started it last night and watched a couple episodes. Enjoyed it so far. Wasn't expecting much but its better than I thought it would be so far.
depends on the base, a base like camp David, probably zero chance that every vehicle is not inspected
Sort of like escaping the White House when everyone is looking for you.Definitely Not A Cop said:

some of the stuff was way out there, but so is the VP trying to kill the President
I still liked it.

It's so freaking bad it's really good. The acting is bad, the writing/dialog is worse, the plot's so full of holes it almost makes no sense. But I can't turn it off. I think it's great! Total mindless mayhem. I thought it was pretty much over at episode 8, but no, they stretched it out another two episodes, and upped the ante with the absurdity.Rex Racer said:

During the last couple of eps, I kept getting distracted by the VP's daughter who, after getting shot through the ankle/lower leg with a high caliber round, was able to just get it wrapped with a bandage so she could limp around. She was even able to make it from the cabin that blew up to the site of the Marine 1 blast fairly quickly. No one ever even offered her any crutches.
Her SS agent said it was just shrapnel as it happened.
I guess I missed that...but just watching her hobble around without any assistance from anyone got annoying after a while.
The old man is much much better
OP here.
I finished this last night and it actually got better as the series went on. Not the greatest thing I've watched and pretty unbelievable at times (escaping the White House) but it wasn't a terrible watch.
I liked that they didn't take the nice way out and had Peter's father's guilt confirmed, but still allowed him to have a happy ending.

It was renewed for season 2.
She wasn't shot. She was hit with shrapnel from a container. Still pretty silly, though.lunchbox said:

Finished this last night. It wasn't great but entertaining enough. I'd put it on par with the Reacher series on Prime. Reminded me a lot of that.
I only realized halfway through that the secret service agent was Wayne Palmer from 24
Finished Night Agent last night.
The acting was truly horrible...particularly early in the season. Maybe I just got used to it by the end.
That said, this was a fun watch. Just have to suspend your disbelief about how ridiculous the entire plot is!

His father wasn't guilty though. It was a ploy to set him up as a double agent.AggieArchitect04 said:

I took it that he was and they used the opportunity to set up the scenario.
Agreed
Agreed on the acting.
Some of the acting from the asian lady in the White House was high school one-act play level. Just stiff as a board sounding like she's just reading a script out loud

Worth watching. Liked fight scenes, nice that main character gets hurt in fights as often as he hurts others. Thought last episode chase scene was well done and laughed with how it ended.
That's her character. Very droll. Check her in The Menu or The whale.AgE2theBONE said:

Season 2 just dropped.
I think season 2 is not as good as season 1. Acting continues to be very bad. Especially Catherine and some parts Rose.
Also Rose and Noor were so annoying with how many times they flip flop every episode on their stances.
It's fine if you're like me and didn't have much else to watch, but it's not great.

agreed. it was ok. Next season could be good.
I don't remember Season 1 being so bad and unbelievable, but maybe it was.
This season is absolutely terrible. SO many things happening that never, ever would in real life.

I'm the furthest thing from critical on movies/shows especially on this board...... but my god this acting is so ****in bad...... porno level bad at times. I had fond memories of season 1 and this season just stunk.......
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
