The Night Manager is an upcoming miniseries directed by Susanne Bier and starring Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander and Elizabeth Debicki. The series will be in six parts and is set to release on AMC and BBC sometime in 2016. It is based on the novel of the same name by John le Carré
Former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) is recruited by Burr (Olivia Colman), an intelligence operative. He is tasked to navigate Whitehall and Washington, D.C. where there is an alliance between the intelligence community and the secret arms trade. He must infiltrate the inner circle of arms dealer Richard Onslow Roper (Hugh Laurie), Roper's girlfriend Jed (Elizabeth Debicki), and associate Corcoran (Tom Hollander)
Bit slow till Laurie appears. Liked it after that.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

I really wanna like this series but I can't help but think everything is happening too fast..so fast that it somewhat ruins it..I guess this is what happens when you try to squeeze a 600 pages book into 6 episodes..
They should have made it a 13 episodes tv series..

Probably couldn't as they had to pay the actors millions to star in it
I like Debicki, but don't see her point in the show. I hope she's not here just for those unnecessary scenes.
Episode 3 was okayish. Episode 4 was very good.

I've finished it and it was OK, 7/10, but I still feel it was rushed as in everything happened too fast without proper character development, proper relationship development & story development..Well, they were there but it really felt like a good story was squeezed into 6 episodes .Good acting though and nice scenery.
and then I decided to read the plot summary of the book
So, that's it? It's over? What was that series 2 then?
Agree with above opinions. It was rushed in last 3 episodes. I thought it's going to be at least 10 episodes. When things got interesting, it ended quickly.
One question: What was Jed doing in Roper's office (at his home) in first place? Just spying?
Anyways, it was fun. Olivia was great. Hiddleston did fine job as well. 7-8/10.

I agree the whole thing was rushed. But what bothered me the most was
Spoiler:
how easy everything was for Pine. Basically the only obstacle he faced on his way was Corky, and in the end that amounted to a whopping one minute of fighting in the sand.
The rest of Roper's men and Roper himself were acting like naive idiots. "The Worst Man in the World", my ass. It's a wonder he survived his first foray into the criminal world.
And of course the sugary happy ending put the nail in the coffin.
Very meh show. Some nice sights though and the acting was pretty good.
The BBC and Amazon have reportedly greenlit not one but two more seasons of the John le Carré adaptation “The Night Manager”.
“Loki” actor Tom Hiddleston will reprise his leading role of Jonathan Pine in the series with David Farr, who wrote the original, back for the new run.
