a5c7b9f00b Genius detective Nero Wolfe and his right-hand man, Archie Goodwin, solve seemingly impossible crimes. Just hoping that they could produce another season of these mysteries. There are a lot of detective movies in which the detectives are eccentric; such as Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Inspector Morse, Inspector Frost to name a few. However, there is none with such humor and fun as in this series, nor is there another in which the actors seem so perfectly cast and seem to be having as much fun with their roles. The dry wit, the tone of the movie, the perfection of the sets, the reuse of some of the actors, the plot also make this series perhaps the most fun and interesting to watch. The Nero Wolfe series is fresh and completely absorbing. Where to begin? Based on the works of rex stouts (which they lifted most of the dialogue from), Nero Wolfe is the world's most brilliant detective.<br/><br/>Maury Chaykin is perfectly cast as the man who wishes to do nothing more than to eat the finest food and tend to his flowers. Nero's eccentric life style is costly, so he applies his honed intelligence to solving cases that are nigh unsolvable. Unwilling to leave his home (do to pride or girth), he has hired Archie Goodwin (Tim Hutton) to be his leg man, and occasional provoker.<br/><br/>This is not the series for the procedurialist (CSI) viewer - instead Nero and Archie take off at a breakneck pace, with quick, smart dialogue, colorful characters, and occasionally the use of black mail to get what they want. Even though you are often left clueless about who committed the crimes, the show was and absolute joy to watch.
