Highlights
The Recruit Season 2 dropped on Netflix on January 30. Makers decided to surprise enthusiastic fans by releasing all six episodes in one go. Just like in Season 1, Noah Centineo is nailing his role as Owen Hendricks in the second installment too.
Our protagonist has recently joined the CIA – a high-profile intelligence agency in the US. But since the first day itself, he has been dragged into serious and often life-threatening situations. Most importantly, Hendricks likes to keep us on the edge of our seats all the time.
The Recruit Season 2: Can Noah Centineo’s character handle South Korea?
The Recruit Season 2 picks up directly after Season 1’s shocking ending. Hendricks’s headspace is complete chaos, Noah Centineo recently noted. He has just seen Maxine Meladze (played by Laura Haddock) – a former CIA asset – get shot by her daughter Nichka.
Hendricks is deeply fond of challenging himself. He likes to jump into the deep end to see if he can get out. In the second season, he is pulled into life-threatening espionage in South Korea only to realise the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the agency.
Can our protagonist handle the tough situations? Or does he need someone’s help? You need to binge the entire series to find out. But one of the major highlights of this action-packed season is the entry of Jang Kyun, played by Bafta nominee Teo Yoo.
You are gonna adore Noah Centineo and Teo Yoo as a duo
In The Recruit Season 2, Noah Centineo’s character is addressing South Korea’s spy trade. He is being accompanied on this international journey by some fresh faces, including Yoo’s Korean intelligence agent Jang Kyun.
Kyun’s Number One priority is bringing his kidnapped partner Nan Lee (Sanghee Lee) to safety. This character is ready to make great sacrifices for the people he cares about. But don’t you think someone ready to do anything for love is dangerous?
Hendricks and Jang Kyun have great energy together. But you should not expect a buddy comedy. In the second installment, our protagonist is entering the screen basically destroyed. He first needs to make sense of the things happening around him.
Hendricks should also realise that if he does not bring out strong results this time, his career is going to see THE END. He might go to prison, too. Besides the big, flashy action stuff, The Recruit Season 2 also features a guy trying to fix something that he broke a little.
