Fuck the viewership on this must’ve been great it just came out didn’t it ?

It did around 20.7 million In equivalent complete viewings. That puts it on par with Netflix big hitters like The Witcher, Cobra Kai, and Emily in Paris.

It's a good watch, nothing special but certainly entertaining. Kinda like a mix between The Recruit and Bodyguard

I think Netflix making it (and most of their new shows) the first thing you see signing in for a while after launch, before you get to programs you've got on your list or are currently watching, really helps increase viewership for fun, "generic" shows like The Night Agent where you see it and go "ooh, spy thriller!" It doesn't work as well for more niche genre fare, but something with broad appeal like The Night Agent is going to have tons tuning in that wouldn't otherwise, because they didn't know it existed.

Additionally, the scene they chose for the preview (at least the one I got) totally sells the show and makes you want to press play right away. The rest of the show could be totally meh, but the lady calling the spy hotline and stumbling through the code words or whatever had great action-thriller tension that made you want more.

Third highest premier ever on Netflix.

It was renewed quickly because of the looming writer’s strike. Netflix usually likes to wait for the first 28 days of viewership before deciding to renew or cancel something. But with the strike, they probably want the writers to start writing the new season ASAP.
