Talk:The Night Agent

Spoilers
This article contains a number of spoilers. It refers to Andre Anthony as Matteo/Colin, thus revealing that the killer is not who we assumed, something which isn't apparent till episode 8. Also, "Ben Cotton as Wick, the CEO of a government contractor Turn Lake Industries who hired Ellen and Dale to kill people" is divulging information the audience doesn't know till a number of episodes in.

I am no expert on fixing things on Wikipedia. This is just a heads-up. MVMorgan (talk) 14:12, 26 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Please read Wp:Spoiler which states
 * Spoilers are no different from any other content and should not be deleted solely because they are spoilers.

 * Indeed, that's the difference between reviews and articles like this one. Unless it's marked "spoiler", one expects a review to avoid revealing plot turns; but a reference article such as this may contain any level of detail. That's the rough 'n' tumble reference game—and it's not for everybody. – AndyFielding (talk) 12:00, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Robert Patrick
While I agree that Robert Patrick does not officially meet the requirements to be a recurring cast member according to MOS:TVCAST, it doesn't feel correct to leave him off the list entirely. He is a notable actor, is given a separate "Guest Starring" slide for both episodes in which he appears, and his character remains important to the show's plot even after his death.

 * Guest starring section is only for notable guest stars such as listed as special guest stars/special appearances in the credits, part of the main cast (past or in the present) in another series in the same network, a famous non-actor such as musician or athlete. — Young Forever (talk)   01:14, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Sadly, I must agree. As Patrick's character is killed in episode 2, he can be considered neither a "recurring" nor "guest" character, but falls into that nameless, shadowy category of characters who are here one minute and gone the next. It's not fair, but at least such actors understand how short their arcs are before they sign on. – AndyFielding (talk) 12:05, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Just me, or is this ludicrous?
Is it just me, or does this show's very premise seem ludicrous? An FBI agent spends his nights at an unmarked phone in a small, unmarked basement room of the White House. (You know, the White House—not the Justice Dept., Homeland Security, or even, say, FBI Headquarters?) His job: answer calls from agents in distress and put them in touch with people who can help them. When the phone rings and he hears code words, he searches a thick binder for them (rather than using a keyboard for a few seconds), then calls someone else to tell them the caller needs help. (In the first episode—the only one I bothered watching—he called the caller's local police, whom the caller obviously could've reached much faster on their own.) Then, not content to leave the matter to the stipulated third party, he abandons his vital secret post and drives to the caller's location, just to be sure everything's okay. And the series continues from there? And that many people wanted to watch more of this? Colour me baffled. 🤷‍♂️ – AndyFielding (talk) 12:35, 4 April 2023 (UTC)


 * What you’ve written here sounds like it’s best suited to a forum about the show. Not a talk page about the upkeep of the Wikipedia article. Panda815 (talk) 16:38, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
