Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman anchored AMC's 2016 miniseries adaptation of the John le Carré novel in which a hotel manager is pulled into international espionage and undercover work after he helps a guest involved in the weapons trade. Go to Full Review Eric Deggans NPR 11/26/2019
Jonathan Pine doesn't shoot bad guys, and the one fistfight he gets into with multiple people, he loses badly. Instead, Pine is the most charming, intelligent, seductive spy on television. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 06/20/2019
With Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie heading a perfect cast and Oscar-winning director Susanne Bier calling the shots, this adaptation-and-update of the John le Carré thriller is a ripper. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 04/13/2021

'The Night Manager is intense, sexy and compelling tv that's just as good as any recent cinema spy-game...' Go to Full Review Fiona Underhill JumpCut Online 07/01/2020
Totally over-the-top and melodramatic - laughably so at times - but hugely enjoyable and entertaining. I really looked forward to it each week, as it makes for perfect Sunday night viewing - a sumptuous bit of fluff to envelope yourself in. Go to Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect 09/26/2019

Craig B @Boundsy 2d The Night Manager is a pretty slick spy thriller, underpinned by stellar performances from Tom Hiddlestone and Elizabeth Coleman. If you can excuse the apparent ease at which Hiddlestone's character is able to walk around snooping unchecked by his new 'friends, you’ll enjoy this show. See more Mark G. @Lesursis66 3d Not bad, little bit of a slow burn at the start, but very watchable. See more Eileen G @Eileen923 3d My only complaint is that the backgrou nd music is louder than the dialogue. This makes it difficult to follow the plot. See more Dave C 3d A good story, with a lot on offer, and some brilliant moments of action and suspense. Alas, such moments are countered all too often with mediocre, lazy storytelling, and protracted direction... See more Julian P @JulianPoulter Jan 27 Pure 5 star thriller. Great script and direction - killer plot the way Hiddleston gets trusted and the final betrayal. Hiddleston, Coleman and Laurie are superb with Laurie proving he has become a genuinely great actor. See more Gregory R. @GregJay Jan 25 I loved this show. Parts Bond, BBC thriller, with a bit of White Lotus mixed in. Hugh Laurie just brilliant and amusing. See more Read all reviews
