Detective stories are consistently popular, which is why it’s easy for a single detective movie or TV show to become a long-running series. We’ve seen this with numerous adaptations of Agatha Christie, five different versions of Sherlock Holmes in under twenty years, and shows like Death in Paradise which has lasted fifteen seasons and even created spin-offs – the appetite for these kinds of mysteries seems limitless.
The show centers around an FBI employee with a routine job – watching a phone that rarely rings – until a call comes in that completely upends his life. Season 3 of The Night Agent features both returning characters and fresh faces, and the show does a great job of developing its characters. The season finale suggested this strong character work will continue in the next season, with Peter likely to be paired with a new partner.
This psychological thriller has a complex plot that rewards repeat viewings, as new details about Oliver and Ciara’s troubled relationship completely change how you see them. But if you loved the show’s surprising turns, intense romance, and mystery, and just want something new to watch, this list is for you.

As the show went on, it started to tell stories that weren’t limited by what was happening in the Marvel movies. Now that new Marvel films are promising big shifts in the overall storyline, it makes you wonder how everything that’s already happened – including shows like Agents of SHIELD – will fit in.
