Noah Centineo moves away from teen rom-coms with thriller ‘The Recruit’

The Recruit: A unique series

In the scene, as he runs away from a hail of gunshots, Owen recognizes a member of the opposing side as a woman he previously met at a bar. He glances away from the potentially fatal situation at hand and waves at her. The woman attacks him with gunfire in retaliation. How cruel! These scenes set "The Recruit" apart as a different CIA drama. Like Jack Ryan, Centineo's Owen is a CIA official who finds himself in the field, but unlike Ryan, this CIA agent is an attorney who quickly gets into trouble.

The Recruit is different from other spy genre series

The premise of The Recruit is entirely distinct. The protagonist of the detective series is frequently a trained spy; however, in this series, the spy is a recent law school graduate. Because of this, the approach taken here is considerably different.

The network TV dramas "Castle" and "The Rookie," both of which incorporated high stakes and fish-out-of-water situations and starred Nathan Fillion, were developed by Alexi Hawley.


What is Owen's character like, and how does the series begin?
Owen is a competent lawyer who thinks quickly. On his first day at the CIA, he is tasked with menial tasks. Owen's real test begins when his boss instructs him to look into a blackmail threat against the organization.
