It’s been awhile since I saw the first season, I didn’t jump on it when season 2 came out, within a day or two of Night Agent. I think I like season 2 of The recruit more than season 2 of Night agent, but like Night Agent better overall. The Girlfriend and zero emotion handler in the Night Agent wore on me in season 2.
Yeah, they got a little annoying. The girlfriend, come on....don't be naive. You know what you're involved in and what's at stake, get off the high horse. But the handler, a little trust wouldn't hurt, I think he earned that in S1.
I'm on Ep 8 of S1 and the Recruit really picked up quickly and there is some good fighting (primarily from the crazy Russian, who is entertaining). I'm enjoying it, though some of it is a bit predictable. There's no mystery in this plot. The villains (which is half the characters) were made obvious from the beginning. Speaking of girlfriends.....his roommate/ex, ugh. A nag, even though she always helps, but at the end here where she just gets up and flies to Geneva? That's where I ended and I just know they made an easy/stupid way to convolute the plot unnecessarily by putting them in harms way.
