Each weekly episode of The Night Manager will feel too short. But the pleasure is so great that we should probably thank AMC for letting it stretch out over six weeks.
The real le Carré unreels here, with savvy updates (re-gendering the book’s male spy boss) strengthening his nail-biting storytelling and ever keen focus on the toxic bureaucracy behind even the most opulent intrigue.

Subtle plotline. Great Characters. Very solid pacing. Le Carre' imprinting provided a wonderful narrative arc and very firm structure. Loved it!

Great show! Must see!
Incredible acting, great plot. Tension and more. 9/10

The Night Manager overcomes cliches, objections and a few wobbly American accents, in large part thanks to the combined appeal and talents of Hiddleston, Colman, Laurie and Hollander. Together, they prove that action TV can be made at a high level of quality, and quality TV can be entertaining.
Unapologetically sleeker and more sentimental than any George Smiley tale, and streamlined to the point of simplicity when compared with the recent "London Spy," it is tense but linear, clearly framed to take full advantage of its stars' strengths and, it must be said, their cross-demographic fan base.
[The Night Manager] makes the most of some gorgeous spots. Viewers, however, may find themselves anticipating the plot. Hiddleston is the draw and the catch. With a less capable lead, this story would only be mildly interesting. ... He proves here he’s ready to serve her majesty’s secret service and then some.
The Night Manager applies the pleasing fundamentals of pulp spycraft to the banal world of corporate evil.
The Night Manager goes down easy as a glamorous procedural, but its conventionality grows narcotizing.
Very impressive screenplay pairs beautifully with the excellent cast and a level of production that adds a cinematic style and quality to the proceedings. Hugh Laurie delivers a stand out performance as Roper here. Shows like this are a great example of how a long form TV series format can add flesh to the bones of a blink and you'll miss it 2 hour movie. Exceptional stuff here.

It's a pretty entertaining miniseries, though not quite as intriguing as I'd hoped.
Let's say it was difficult to buy the role of ruthless billionaire from Hugh Laurie. Other than that, it goes smoothly.
I think it's worth it, but honestly, if you ask me, it could've been a movie rather than a series.

Well as a starter i am egyptian , and i didn't pull past the 1st episode as there is too many atrocities adressing egypt , cairo or egyptians .
1st of all this was not shot at egypt , 2nd almost all the actors used for egyptian characters were arabs but not egyptians , 3rd they talked arabic but in a foreign dialect , there was no egyptian dialect at all , 4th why are you adding (y) to the end of arab names ?! , all the names used are not egyptian ????!!!!! Even one of the hotel residents asked for coffee he brought her tea ????!!!!! So if you are watching this for just fun go ahead , but if you think this is accurate or resemble the truth or egypt it doesn't .
