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
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 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

Barb F @RT05314875 4d What a waste of my time and the time for those actors to film this! So, so bad! Bad guys win…no redeeming qualities! Do not watch! See more Dwight H @RT91057689 6d "Six hours of my life I will never get back. The Night Manager Season Two isn’t a sequel, it’s a lazy photocopy of the brilliant first season, stripped of everything that made it work. The ending doesn’t even have the decency to end. Instead it dumps you off a cliff and demands you wait for a third season just to get closure that should have been earned here. That isn’t storytelling, that’s a cash grab dressed up as drama. The source material deserved better than this. The original author’s vision has been flattened into something forgettable, and the writers should be ashamed of what they handed in. Shame on them for phoning it in, and shame on Amazon for greenlighting a season that exists only to stall for a third. Save your evenings. Don’t waste six hours on this pile of garbage waiting for an ending that never comes." See more Aisha C @RT899005609321 Jul 5 It was alright. Some good surprising moments throughout. I was hoping it would be another self-contained story but it did the same thing almost every show seems to nowadays: it's a setup story for the next season See more Cheri H @Cherleazz Jun 29 Horrible, horrible ending. I will never waste my time watching another season of this atrocity. Literal hours wasted on this garbage See more S D @Stheday Jun 17 The worst and most depressing season ending in history. I really hope that there is no season 3. See more Zahid T @Zahid2025 Jun 17 Bad Direction. Bad writing. Forced casting. Basically it was a forced production to capitalize on the absolutely phenomenal and iconic first season. Brew really bad make up. Tom acted superbly but was let down my amateur Direction and amateur writing. Really hope in session 3 they choose a better written plot, story and script and choose better actors. Not forced casting inclusions. See more Read all reviews
