Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
I watched the first episode of The Night Agent while I was painting my nails this evening and it is like, THEE most trope-y thing of "woman nearly dies over something she's accidentally tied up in and has no idea what's going on, but a calm and collected under pressure dude helps her through it and even though she's been warned not to trust anyone, she's decided to trust him because otherwise she's alone".
But consider this, I LOVE this trope and I am already strapped in, on board, ready to eat this up.
Like, oh you're gonna be absolutely in control over the phone and talk this lady through where to hide and keep checking in to make sure she's okay? You're gonna keep her safe when people jump out to attack you? You're gonna try and keep her calm while people are shooting at you and gently bandage her minor wound afterwards? You're gonna stay because she asked you to? Because it makes her feel safe? All in the first episode?!?! Sign me TF up. I can't wait until we get to the point where HE gets injured trying to save her and she has to help bandage HIS wounds. Top tier tropes for sure. Love this for me. Sorry I watched The Bourne Identity 700 times as a teen as if it's my fault that movie is a banger.
