The night manager
The original Season 2 (2016) is a six-episode miniseries starring Tom Hiddleston as Jonathan Pine, a former British soldier and luxury hotel night manager (starting in Cairo during the Arab Spring). He's recruited by intelligence operative Angela Burr (Olivia Colman) to infiltrate the inner circle of a charismatic but ruthless international arms dealer, Richard "Dickie" Roper (Hugh Laurie). It's full of tension, luxury settings, moral ambiguity, and high-stakes espionage. It was a massive hit—critically acclaimed (91% on Rotten Tomatoes), stylish, and often compared to a modern Bond-like story but with le Carré's signature realism and cynicism.

It brings back Hiddleston and Colman, continuing Pine's story years later (now working more directly for MI6). The plot involves new threats, past consequences catching up, and operations like exposing a British-backed coup in Colombia. Reviews are mixed—some praise the slick production, cast chemistry, and slow-burn tension, while others feel it doesn't quite match the first season's magic after such a long wait. A third season is already confirmed.
