The Night Manager ranks as one of the finest pieces of drama to be made for quite some time. It managed to be unique somehow, it's been a while since we've seen a current day espionage thriller. They truly got this one spot on, an incredible story and plot, as one would expect from the pen of John le Carré, a book I've read but not taken a huge deal of interest in.
The acting is flawless, to say that the performances are truly remarkable would be an understatement, Hugh Laurie is outstanding, nice to see him cast against type. Olivia Coleman adds her usual qualities, but it's lead Tom Hiddleston who steals the show, he will have done his future career no harm at all with his performance here. Truly spectacular.
It's a drama that assumes the viewer's intelligence, a plot with a degree of complexity, which in itself makes a refreshing change.
Fantastic viewing from start to finish!! 10/10
