Netflix's TheRecruit feels woven from the same cloth as 'Jack Ryan' and 'Reacher,' but from a much younger perspective. Our review:
Noah Centineo gets too much flack. After playing Peter, the male lead in Netflix's To All the Boys trilogy, as well as starring in other teen rom-coms from the streamer such as Sierra Burgess is a Loser and The Perfect Date, he finally seems to be branching out into new places.
The Recruit is action-packed, filled with twists and turns, has a clever and snarky sense of humor, and is convoluted to a fault, but that's one of the main reasons why it grabs your attention. There are shows like Succession or Better Call Saul that fit that prestige definition where, every time a new episode arrives, it's a requirement that you dedicate an entire night to it. Then there's a show like The Recruit.
Centineo was the perfect choice to play a character like Owen. He has all the hallmarks of an irresistible leading man with not just the sex appeal, but playing a character so endearing, honest, and frankly, quite relatable.
There are moments in The Recruit where it starts to lean a little too much into melodrama. While both Stewart and Daniel Quincy Annoh are fun additions to the show, the story doesn't seem to know how to use them. There are some scenes dedicated to their individual romances, but both are so surface-level that it's hard to become emotionally invested compared to everything else going on.
