The Recruit by Milling Galloway

I would highly recommend this Netflix series. This show kept me up all night wanting to finish it very badly. Owen Hendricks, the main character or his real name Noah Centineo, plays the main character role perfectly. This action-packed thriller was well worth the wait. It’s a CIA-based Netflix show that has a ton of great ideas. Owen, who just came from law school, decides to not join a firm. Instead, he becomes a lawyer at the CIA. He has to go on many adventures and most of the stuff he does are completely different from what lawyers would do. It also gives a decent look into what happens at the CIA. He meets an asset. An asset is a person from another country who gets paid or is blackmailed into exposing the secrets of a terrorist group they are in. Max the asset from a Russian mob threatens to release special documents that would be very damaging to the CIA. They send the new lawyer hotshot Dylan to go make the situation ok. He ends up doing many illegal things, but he gets her out of jail and everything’s fine. Soon enough he has to go back to Phonix to help her out. He doesn’t want to. The only reason he went was because his boss made him. I think that he ends up falling in love with her but later she dies. You never get to find out. I would compare this show to Night Agent. Although they are similar, I think the Recruit is way better. To be honest there are just way more action-packed scenes that drive people to want more. So I would give this show a nine out of ten. My reasoning is just that there are many girls Owen has had feelings for. You think he just met the love of his life, but he meets another girl he likes. His roommate Hannah also dated him and you can easily tell the tension in the room. She even chases him to Geneva Switzerland to try and see if he is alright. Before they run into each other’s arms he gets kidnapped right in front of her. The next thing you know she never wants to see him again.
