I read the John Le Carre book, and this miniseries is done well.

I really liked it and thought it was Tom Hiddleston's audition tape to be considered for James Bond.

I really enjoyed it as well. I had never heard of Carre until maybe 1.5yr ago but have since been reading his work and watching a couple of his series.

Agreed. One of the best miniseries I've seen in years.

I saw the series. I thought it was good.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Really enjoyed it. Check out the adaptation of The Little Drummer Girl that just ran on AMC.

Makes me want to give it a rewatch. I think I've seen it twice through, easy binge on a flight.

So, per y'alls recommendations I've started watching... but here it goes, again.
I find it interesting that 'International Arms Dealers' are always evil....
Do some research and find out who is the biggest International Arms Dealer on the planet.......

I'm bing watching it and it was okay until about episode four.... before that the only problem was the hero / night manager kept reminding me of a grown up version of that child actor from Home Alone. Same hair... then here we are in episode 5 and Hugh Lory "Roper" one of the worlds richest men who no one has a clue is really an arms dealer has an army with hundreds of men who all know him.... My real problem is I've always like Hugh Lowry and just can't get into disliking him even in this show.

I know this is an old thread, but I just started watching it and find it very interesting and well done. I have not read the book and doubt if I will.
Season 2 becomes available today (1-11-26) I believe.This message has been edited. Last edited by: maxwayne,

The first I've heard of this...guess I missed this thread. Sounds like it's worth seeing.
