Recensie van 3DD!3 voor deze serie (3)
The Night Manager (2016)
A great conversational, spy snack that is a little slow at the beginning, but towards the ending it makes up for that, with each atmosphere enhancing minute. Laurie’s role as the arms dealer fits him like a glove. The photos with African kids almost make him a humanist. And Hiddleston was a little shaky at first, but towards the end he proves his qualities. I think I could imagine him as a Bond. The last two parts are perfection itself. A fairly unexpected finale for le Carré.

Episode 1 (2016) (S01E01)
So far a little disappointing. Top-notch in terms of acting. Even with the little room he is given, Laurie dominates the series, Tom Hiddleston is every inch a pro. But the femme fatale is not captivating enough and so the central theme of unexpected love for a stranger is unconvincing. The first episode seems like a rather slow prolog, which is usually right for a le Carré, but it doesn’t have the necessary power. I look forward to when the hinted at conflict begins, but nothing too impressive so far.

Episode 2 (2016) (S01E02)
Much more substantial. You can see le Carré's slow infiltration phase, where the hero slowly sinks into his "role". It's finally caught up with me.
