Night's Black Agents: U.N.I.T. Freelancers

Good things of day begin to droop and drowse; While night's black agents to their preys do rouse.
Macbeth, Act III, Scene 2

I was thinking about a Night's Black Agents + Esoterrorists + Mutant City Blues: a different system for a U.N.I.T. meets Torchwood campaign in America. And was looking at old TV shows for additional inspiration.

Instead of working for the government (which the U.S. might take issue to, given that they probably have a slew of anti-alien agencies already), I was thinking of a campaign where a small U.N.I.T. CRASH team is assembled from freelancers, ala Global Frequency meets Masquerade.

For the spooky, conspiracy-laden humans vs. aliens atmosphere, I'd look at shows like:

• X-files
• Kolchak
• Fringe

For the setting, with super-spies, private eyes, talented amateurs, and multi-national agencies:

• I-Spy
• The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
• the Equalizer
• The A-team
• MacGyver
• The Pretender
• Stingray
• Strange Luck
• Charlie's Angels
• Burn Notice

For banter and ensemble teams:

• Magnum PI
• Simon & Simon
• Remington Steele
• Moonlighting
• Ten Speed & Brownshoe
• Castle
• Starsky & Hutch

For Science Fiction / Fantasy Weirdness:

• The Six Million Dollar Man
• The Bionic Woman
• The Immortal
• The Tomorrow People
• Sapphire & Steel
• Torchwood
• Warehouse 13
• Knight Rider
• UFO
• Project UFO
• Fringe
