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

EE D @RT03285035 2d 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 5d 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 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 Meagan M @RT7879053218909 Jul 27 It doesn't quite capture the magic of the first season, but it's still tense and stylish. I was hooked from the first episode and enjoyed the ride. See more Valentina D @valentina6623 Jul 25 Personally I still enjoyed the second season, but not quite as much as I liked Season 1. See more Elba C @Elba98 Jul 22 I personally loved it. It is different because it is set 10 years later but definitely worth it. See more Read all reviews
