The Night Manager (2016–2025)
9/10
Outstanding mini-series
20 May 2016
This miniseries has everything. Beautiful locations, and amazing acting. Hugh Laurie is really convincing as Roper. And I had not really taken Tom Hiddleston in until this series. But he is great. It is frustrating that it is talking as long as is for the series to play out. I have been spoiled by binge watching! I know what is coming of course as I read the book long ago. Le Carre's signature theme of betrayal runs through the whole story of course. So...excellent cinematography and acting, beautiful scenery, good plot: if you like spy/action then you will LOVE this film - as long as you understand it is an English film, which means the drama builds a little more slowly than typical American films and relies more on plot and characters than it does on explosions.
