I just binged the rest of The Night Agent. I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Each episode was action-packed and well-executed from start to finish.
And I loved Kari Matchett as the President.

Favorite Episodes of "A NERO WOLFE MYSTERY" (2000-2002)
Below is a list of my favorite episodes from the A&E series, "A NERO WOLFE MYSTERY". Based upon the detective stories and novels written by Rex Stout, the series starred Timothy Hutton and Maury Chaykin as Archie Goodwin and Nero Wolfe:
FAVORITE EPISODES OF "A NERO WOLFE MYSTERY" (2000-2002)
1. (1.02) "Champagne For One" - In this adaptation of Stout's 1958 novel, detective Nero Wolfe investigates the death of a young unwed mother at a charity dance attended by his assistant, Archie Goodwin. The latter had been standing in for an acquaintance, who was related to the wealthy hostess.
2. (2.08) "Before I Die" - A notorious gangster hires Wolfe to protect his real daughter, who is unaware of her father's identity, and stop the woman impersonating her from blackmailing him in this adaptation of Stout's 1947 novella.
3. (2.05) "The Mother Hunt" - In this adaptation of Stout's 1963 novel, a wealthy young widow hires Wolfe and Archie to identify and locate the birth mother of the baby left in the vestibule of her townhouse.
4. (1.08) "Over My Dead Body" - A Montenegro woman claiming to know Wolfe's adopted daughter is suspected of theft and murder at a prestigious fencing club in this adaptation of Stout's 1940 novel.
5. (2.09) "Help Wanted, Male" - In this adaptation of Stout's 1945 novella, Wolfe receives a death threat regarding a past case and hires a look-a-like double to temporarily impersonate him until he can identify the perpetrator.
Honorable Mentioned: (2.06) "Poison à la Carte" - When Wolfe and Archie attend the annual Ten for Aristology, a gourmet society, one of the members is poisoned. Wolfe suspects one of the female servers of the crime.

I'm finally happy with how it turned out. A Joan Campbell character study, dark and angsty like her life\work balance at the CIA.

I just have to put this out here:
I love Invasion (2005).
I love the blend of sci-fi, mystery, horror, romance and family drama.
I love the themes of rediscovering one’s humanity.
I love that you can watch it again and again and discover several new details every time.
I love that every single character has an interesting arc.
I love how Tom learns that insisting he solves everything by himself does more harm than good. I love that he learns that keeping unpleasant truths from his daughter isn’t the same as protecting her.
I love how Mariel gets over her teenager-like infatuation with her new husband, discovers all his flaws, but forgives him when he starts trying to change and learns to love him anyway.
I love how Larkin learns that getting the truth out there isn’t always for the best.
And I love how Russell learns that not everything unknown is automatically evil.
I love how the 6-year-old Rose is the wisest damn being on the show.
I love how the writers avoided the evil stepmother/father trope by having Tom absolutely adore his step-children.
I love how the writers didn’t shy away from showing that a person can have romantic feelings for people who aren’t their spouse without being a cheater.
I love how Russell and Tom are visual opposites, with the former being square-jawed, darker-skinned, black-haired and dark-eyed and dressed in dark or earthy colours, and the latter being paler, with narrower features and lighter hair and eyes and always dressed in light or white:
I love how this also exemplifies "dark is not evil" and "light is not good" by Tom being the more morally ambiguous of the two.
And speaking of 'morally ambiguous'...
I love the absolute murder rage Tom flies into when his loved ones are threatened:
I love how Lewis takes on a full-time job as Tom's moral compass:
In conclusion:
This is a criminally underrated show. The authors probably tried to balance too many plates on a very limited number of sticks, and some of the stuff that makes the show great is too subtle to make out on the first watch. Nonetheless, it is a great watch, tackling difficult themes, with amazing cast giving it their all and superb soundtrack. I highly recommend it.
And if you're still unconvinced, and if that's your sort of thing, certain cast members do be looking like a certifiable snack:
