The Night Manager

[The Trooper]

I know the mini series was around in Europe since February. I caught the premiere episode here in the states on AMC and the first episode blew me away. I got hooked and downloaded the rest of it. Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston are awesome in it. Anybody else watched it? If not it is a must watch.

First two episodes are on my DVR, might get to them this weekend.

Saw the poster today on a wall going to work. What it is about? I know the answer is a click away but sometimes it's nice to get a feel from people who are actually watching it rather than a standard press release.

Yeah it was really popular here in the UK, great series.

[King Postwhore]

Same as Bill.  Can't wait to watch them.

[The Trooper]

brilliant show. just get prepared to binge

[hefdaddy42]

Shit, I forgot all about this.

Goddammit Hef.  You were the one to remind me to record it from your Facebook post.

[hefdaddy42]

I know, fuck me.

I'm not a huge Hugh Laurie fan so I chose to skip it. This feedback makes me think I shouldn't.

[King Postwhore]

I watched the first episode and there is a lot of undercurrent happening right now. Very interesting.

I can't give you a good reason why I don't care for the fella....just have never been drawn to his work.

I'm in the same boat as king. Watched the first episode and I'm definitely excited for the rest of the series.

[Big Hath]

two episodes in and enjoying it.  Heavy Bond vibe so far, but that isn't a bad thing.

[axeman90210]

We're two thirds of the way through now and I'm still really enjoying this

[The Trooper]

and it keeps getting better.

[axeman90210]

Anybody else current through last night's finale? Really enjoyable little mini-series if you ask me. I actually got up earlier and spent more time on the elliptical than I normally would so I could get the whole episode in before I left for work, so you know it's good

[pogoowner]

I just binge-watched the whole series in two days. Hiddleston and Laurie are both fantastic in it.

Major bump because this is an old thread, but I started watching it AND HOLY DAMN IT'S AWESOME!!!! 

Two episodes in and I'm already hooked (well, the first episode alone did the job), and I can't wait to see how it all unfolds.

If anyone, like me, had it under their radar and for whatever reason skipped on it, bring it back on top of your Must Watch list 'cause it's incredibily enthralling.

[The Trooper]

I watched it when it first came out and started this thread. Solid solid show,

Finished seeing it. Absolutely brilliant, edge of the seat stuff. Riveting from beginning to end. Loki and Dr. House kicked major ass 

Not really a complaint but more an observation, how relatively dumb was getting involved with Roper's mistress? ok, she's silly hot but still, dude, you're undercover, don't fuck the boss' wife should be #1 item on your list.

Also, about the end.... Roper gets basically hijacked by the arm dealers he screwed up with (thanks to Jonathan), and Angela Burr allows him telling "It's what he deserves". Well, it is? they don't show him but I assume he's gonna get whacked and buried in the desert, that's only slightly worse than having a heart attack. He got a lifetime of wealth and luxury and a bad day ends it all, be it as I said a hard attack, or a bullet in the head. It would be way, way worse for him to get exposed, jailed, and lose everything he has, and live through the misery of it all, even though he was so confident he would get away with just a slap on his hands, that allowing him to get offed was probably a rational decision.
