Based on John le Carré's novel of the same name, "The Night Manager" is a crime drama following the work of former British soldier Jonathan Pine. Hotel night porter Pine is contacted by an intelligence operative who asks for his assistance to spy on international businessman Richard Roper. The entrepreneur is believed to have forged a criminal alliance between the secret arms trade and the intelligence community, prompting the need for surveillance. Pine attempts to infiltrate Roper's inner circle by becoming a felon himself, while keeping his mission a secret from his hotel colleagues and girlfriend.

Marking a belated but welcome return for Tom Hiddleston's tortured spy, The Night Manager's second season is a glamorous and haunted continuation that only gets better as it goes.

It hits all the right beats, from knotty departmental drama to basic cable erotica, but it does so without much friction or sense of fun. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Jan 27
The Night Manager season two is a show of two halves, cleaved by a big twist at the end of the third episode which changes the energy of the series. If you find the first few chapters a little dulled, just wait until that reveal. Go to Full Review Peter Travers The Travers Take Jan 23
3/4
The spy game heats up with Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman back in action and a new villain (Diego Calva) to spark political and sexual intrigue. That three-way dance with Hiddleston, Calva and Camila Morrone generates enough sizzle to singe your screen Go to Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator Feb 12
Season two is much more of a generic thriller than its predecessor. Also -- perhaps he was like this before, but I don’t remember it -- Tom Hiddleston’s character Jonathan Pine is pretty unappealing. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Feb 5
It is another six episodes of superb performances, meticulous spycraft, a densely packed plot, and a lot of double-crosses. But and I say this with genuine respect for the series as a piece of television craft, it is also a bit of a slog. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Feb 2
3/5
…The Night Manager 2 isn’t as bad as everyone warned me, but isn’t a patch on the original…with Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman seemingly absent from the new venture, there’s something of a yawning gap where two huge stars used to be… Go to Full Review Read all reviews

JC C @JCreview 4d Horrible scriptwriting. The Night Manager Season 2 has traded John le Carré’s sophisticated tension for a generic, soap-opera slog. The nuanced psychological warfare of the first season is dead, replaced by clunky dialogue and absurd plot contrivances that make the characters look like amateurs. Without the novel to anchor it, the show has devolved into a redundant rehash of drug-war clichés and a confused, bisexual romance. It’s a soulless, theatrical mess that feels more like a parody than a sequel. Do yourself a favor: skip this "slog" and let the brilliance of Season 1 remain untarnished. See more Sinead K 4d Don't get the bad reviews. This season was great and controversialy I would say it is better than the first. I feel like Jonathan had a bit more personality here. Slow starter but worth it for the payoff. See more Priscilla T @Prissy2026 4d Loved Season One but the lead actor, Tom H seems to have 'aged' or something as he's not nearly as attractive as he was in Season One. Maybe the hair he's styled in but he looks 'old- washed up' imo. Still watching but so far, not impressed. See more George S @MovieDoc87 5d I don’t understand movie makers who feel like they should screw the audience to appease their artist friends. It only assures no one will watch their future works, meaning their earnings dissipate and their careers die. And their artist friends eventually forget about them. What a way to waste a life. This movie’s ending sells out real people. See more Nic C @BigWaveSurfin 6d Excellent - great actors, solid storyline, keeping a good momentum and interesting twists. See more Jay J @Jay007 Feb 22 It started at a slow pace but really picked up from the second episode. There are lots of twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. Brilliant acting from the entire cast and a gripping story where the good guys don’t always win. Can’t wait for the third season! See more Read all reviews
