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.

Not a Must Watch
This new storyline is better than some other spy shows that I've seen over the course of the last couple of years, but is not as good as season one was. Go to Full Review Phillip Maciak The New Republic Jan 29, 2026
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, 2026
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 Michel Ghanem The Cut Oct 5, 2026
7/10
The tension of The Night Manager hinges on the uncertainty of whether or not Pine has gone too deep. Is he so entangled that his morals have been compromised? After becoming increasingly ruthless to get to this point, is he still good? Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ Apr 8, 2026
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, 2026
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 Read all reviews

Daniel V @RT23052028 6 hrs ago One thing I guarantee is that it does not end the way you expect. Intriguing and refreshing, as far as spy tv shows go. See more Merrick S @RT51542740 Sep 1, 2026 Halfway through, still watching, but despite good atmospherics the writer has abandoned Le Carre's obsession with realistic tradecraft. There are secret meetings in hotel lobbies and public places. Incriminating phone calls on tapped lines. Covers are paper thin and constantly compromised. Better than a lot of the absolute dreck out there, but not up to Le Carre's standards. They should have re-watched The Russia House or Tinker, Tailor. See more Karen L @RT05922013 Aug 31, 2026 I have never been so let down, angry, frustrated and upset with a show before. This one takes the cake! How dare they kill off all the good people and leave the evil vermin!! I have very cross words to say but I won’t. Also, spoilers here but that bloody wanker killed his dogs!! Now I am going to have to watch Mrs. Brown’s Boys on the telly just to get this horrible series out of me head. This film deserves ZERO stars but I gave it a 1/2 star because of Teddy and Tom Hiddleston! I never fancied Hugh Laurie ever! Yuck! See more EE D @RT03285035 Aug 28, 2026 Building on the success of the first season they manage to completely screw up this one, the storyline is beyond stupid See more Deana T @Deana883 Aug 25, 2026 Really enjoyed the whole storyline and development of Tom Hiddlestone’s character and the acting from the elite cast. However, season 2 and it just feels abit boring for now especially with the other shows im watching See more R T @RT39664724 Aug 11, 2026 Horrible, contrived, poorly written, good guys suddenly turn complete idiots, play holes galore, miserable, and disgusting all rolled into one. Worst season finale I’ve ever seen. If I want misery I’ll watch the worst of news media not this trash. See more Read all reviews
