THE NIGHT AGENT HUNT FOR A RUSSIAN MOLE

Stuck in a White House basement guarding a phone that never rings, FBI agent Peter Sutherland (Hillbilly Elegy’s Gabriel Basso, right) – who is clearly too good-looking to be working in such an unheroic setting – is starting to wonder if he’s made the wrong career choice. But then, one day, a call unexpectedly comes through and he finds himself catapulted into a lethal conspiracy involving a Russian mole deep within the government. With echoes of The

Bourne Identity and 24, this slick modern thriller series ticks all the right boxes for fans of tense revelations and all-out action scenes. It was created by

Shawn Ryan, a past master when it comes to macho action – he was behind tough LA police dramas

The Shield and S.W.A.T.

Thursday, Netflix investigation afteraprisoner transfer goes seriously wrong, and leaves one of them in hospital. Ali is the more cavalier of the two, and played by Ken Duken (right) with a swaggering charm that’s faintly reminiscent of Brad Pitt. His more traditional detective brother Leo is a much more buttoned-up character, but they make a good team because they’re the only people who can trust each other at the centre of what turns out to be a huge international conspiracy. If you’re after a dose of action with an unconventional pairing at its heart, then this could fit the bill.
