Based on John le Carré's novel of the same name, "The Night Manager" is a crime drama following the work of former British soldier Jonathan Pine. Hotel night porter Pine is contacted by an intelligence operative who asks for his assistance to spy on international businessman Richard Roper. The entrepreneur is believed to have forged a criminal alliance between the secret arms trade and the intelligence community, prompting the need for surveillance. Pine attempts to infiltrate Roper's inner circle by becoming a felon himself, while keeping his mission a secret from his hotel colleagues and girlfriend.

It hits all the right beats, from knotty departmental drama to basic cable erotica, but it does so without much friction or sense of fun. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Jan 27
The Night Manager season two is a show of two halves, cleaved by a big twist at the end of the third episode which changes the energy of the series. If you find the first few chapters a little dulled, just wait until that reveal. Go to Full Review Peter Travers The Travers Take Jan 23
3/4
The spy game heats up with Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman back in action and a new villain (Diego Calva) to spark political and sexual intrigue. That three-way dance with Hiddleston, Calva and Camila Morrone generates enough sizzle to singe your screen Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ Apr 8
Yes, there is something Slow Horses-y about the Night Owls rag-tag team of surveillance specialists attempting to take a more hands-on approach, but that doesn’t undermine the tension-building or the high stakes that quickly ramp up. Go to Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL Mar 9
At its best, this sequel series, created by original show runner David Farr, maintains a level of pleasurable dread as Pine struggles just as fiercely as Simon Williams to hide his true identity. Go to Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator Feb 12
Season two is much more of a generic thriller than its predecessor. Also -- perhaps he was like this before, but I don’t remember it -- Tom Hiddleston’s character Jonathan Pine is pretty unappealing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tim H. @TimDad 1d I feel liked Season 2 did a great job bringing Roper back in a new story. Hoping for a season 3. Acting is superb. See more Todd T. @toddat Apr 6 They waited so long and couldn’t come up with an original storyline that didn’t have anything to do with Hugh Laurie’s character. Come on we deserve better than that. See more Patricia S @Patricia444 Apr 4 John LeCarre would be ashamed of this. How cynical can you get? And he was pretty cynical. Don't bother See more marnie M @RT37433177 Mar 28 It would've have been 5 stars until the stupid last episode with plane switch. Soooooo dumb!! What a disappointment. They could've come up with something more creative then a total replay of the first episode of the obvious. Really bad. Ruined the whole series for me! See more Arthur Z @Arthur287 Mar 27 Even though the season seemed mostly a repeat of season 1, I enjoyed it, until the last episode. Very much a James Bond like plot that was not boring. As many have said the season ending was very poor and dissatisfying. Written to simply set up for a 3rd season. Feeling like I wasted 6 hours on season 2. I will not be watching season 3. See more Andi C @RT75205190 Mar 25 Such a disappointment to the first series. From the get go that took off like a train ride speeding up to the finale, the places, the people, the thriller quality, the beauty of the characters. I am only on episode four and I don't know why we have to have Roper still in what about a new story and new people. The first series was packed with seriously great actors and locations, that gave it calibre. It's like hoping for Harry Potter and getting the Twighlight series. This unassuming beauty he had in series 1, he now looks gaunt and like he needs to eat something. HIs blonde hair is suddenly dark. I miss Olivia, and badies like Roper, who have cojones. And suddenly the other MI6 guy who walked around in an anorak in season one, owns a huge gorgeous rich man's house in Sussex? And all the spies meet there for birthday parties? I am missing the cloak and dagger (un)believable element of season 1. Let's hope it improves, I watching it through for old times sake. See more Read all reviews
