The Night Agent - Netflix

I binged this over the last few days (both S1 and S2). I liked the simplicity of S1 over S2, and I also grew really tired of the 'ok, lets go back in time and give you this nugget of story before we get back to current events' mechanism that they went to over and over and over.

S2 story felt a little bit like a hat on a hat, there were just a couple too many layers. Good quality and my wife enjoyed it, but as someone who's often doing something else while these are on, this and all the subtitles (easily half of some episodes were in another language given the setting / antagonists) it just wasn't as fun of a ride.
 
I really dislike that story telling method. Shows up many places.

Yeah, I hate flashback stories in general - the lone exception in recent memory is Paradise, which managed to do it and turn in one of the my favorite episodes of TV in years in the process. Night Agent felt unique the way it kept doing it for little 3-5 minute segments in what felt more than half the episodes to give context or setup a sympathetic narrative for an antagonist, just felt like they went back to the well way too many times.
