O Gerente da Noite

With the cast in this little series, nothing could go wrong. I guess it could, but it didn't.

Great story, and it captured my interest so much I had to watch it properly instead of having it as just some background entertainment while doing other things.

It's like a nice short story where the viewer is dragged in slowly, and ends in a climax. The last episode is definitely a highlight, where some are really slow.

If I could I'd probably give it an 8.5/10, but since that's not an option I went up instead. A 9 it is then!

Though updated for the present time and reworked slightly, The Night Manager stays forcefully true to the characterizations and atmosphere of Le Carre's classic spy novel. Tom Hiddleston shines as the complicated protagonist, and Huge Laurie and Olivia Colman provide forceful screen presence to offset his vulnerably self-contained persona.

Fans of Le Carre's work are likely to enjoy The Night Manager, as are those who enjoy an atmospheric mystery populated with beautiful men and women, intelligent writing, and international stakes. Not a series to watch without paying attention, it is a series well worth the time and effort to absorb and enjoy it fully.

I liked the acting of the main character (Tom Hiddleston) very much. He actually won a Golden Globe for his role. I liked also the cinematography and the views 👌. I highly recommend this show.. its short and good.

I missed this mini-series when it came out but recently discovered it on Blu-Ray at my public library. It is a joint project of Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie who also are two of the primary stars. It revolves around undercover, illegal weapons sales and the team trying to bust the ring.

Tom Hiddleston is former trained British military man Jonathan Pine. We encounter him working as the night manager of a hotel in a foreign country. He ultimately gets recruited into the undercover organization out of London and reports to Olivia Colman as Angela Burr.

As it develops Hugh Laurie as Richard Roper is the very wealthy big boss behind the illegal weapons sales program, the type and quantity to start a small war. As Roper states at one point, his involvement is "War as a spectator sport." He has no sides, he just sees it as a great money-making opportunity.

As key character is Elizabeth Debicki as Jed Marshall, the much younger girlfriend of Roper, but she will eventually cooperate with the good guys.

My favorite in the series is Tom Hollander (so good as the bad guy in "Hanna") as Roper's enforcer Lance Corkoran who is called Corky. He plays a dastardly character but is so good at it.

All in all a very entertaining series.

I have to say That Night Manger was even better than I expected and I was expecting it to be good! Especially after reading all the great reviews and ratings. Tom Hiddleston is one of the most underrated actors working today. He's terrific in everything he does. The Night Manager follows former British soldier and now hotel manager, Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston). He is contacted by a spy operative for his help to spy on international businessman Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). Roper is believed to be the leader of secret arms trade. Pine infiltrates Romper's inner circle while keeping his real mission a secret. If you're looking for a good spy thriller that will hold your attention throughout every episode then give this a try. You won't be disappointed.
