The Night Manager season 1

Very good miniseries, where the acting of Hiddleston, Laurie, Hollander and Colman is especially interesting to watch. It was never exaggerated, but always impressive.

As mentioned before, the series felt like a good James Bond movie at times. I've been wondering all season if I think Hiddleston is the perfect candidate for Bond or not at all. Richard Roper also resembled a Bond villain.

The whole series was exciting, but the climax was quite predictable. As Donkerwoud already said: hopefully they won't ruin the next season by hitting on the good points of this season too much. If they really want to come back, they can come up with something really unique.

The Night Manager season 1

I've only seen 'Things We Lost in the Fire' (2007) by Danish director Susanne Bier, but she shows off well with this stylish spy drama. It's vintage John le Carré, in which a troubled British gentleman - courteous and stiff - is the last righteous soul left in a cynical mix of intelligence and organized crime. Tom Hiddleston is extremely charismatic as 'The Night Manager' with his sneering smile and sad look. Opposite him is Hugh Laurie, who throws out all the venom and aggression that had no place in a family-friendly television series like 'House'. The many supporting roles are also usually perfectly cast: whether it's Olivia Colman as the real hero (-in) of the series (Angela Burr), or Tom Hollander as the gay street fighter (Lance Corkoran), or even Adeel Akhtar (Rob Singhal). who has a hilarious diss in the last episode. The plot turns out to be a tad predictable and straightforward in the end, but even that is satisfying because this male fantasy of gallantry and power plays does exactly what I hope and expect it to do.
