TV Series Review: The Night Manager

THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW.


Hello readers,
I shall be writing about this latest BBC series, The Night Manager. I apologise for the photo above because sadly there isn't any series promotional poster or banner in the Google image search engine. Based on the same novel title by John Le CarrĂ© (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), the series follows Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), a hotel night manager and former soldier who is then recruited by Angela Burr (Olivia Colman) to infiltrate the antagonist or 'worst man', Richard Ropper (Hugh Laurie)'s inner circle.

You can guess by the author's name that this series would have espionage happening. I am surprised how underrated The Night Manager is, after all the cast featured prominent actors including Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie. The series' writing for the three episodes as of now are seriously good and that kept me on the edge of my seat or probably my bedroom floor. Bear in mind that The Night Manager is a mini series and has the usual six episodes order.

The Night Manager offers one of the best openings I have ever seen, along with the beautiful music score blending in so well that I might have to search it up again on YouTube. Speaking of the episodes' remarkable writing, the acting performances of the cast were brilliant (no dull ones). In my opinion, I honestly like Tom Hiddleston in the series. Also, Hugh Laurie as Richard Ropper is a great casting choice.



If you enjoy series that features espionage, suspense or maybe you are a John Le Carré's fan, I guaranteed that you will jolly well loved The Night Manager. Go check it out if you haven't!

Ratings: 8/10

P.S. I can't wait for the next episode. That ending of the third episode left me wanting more!
