Terrible Cliff hanger if it’s going to take 2 years for season 3 to come out like it usually does.

Alright, on the recommendation of one of our owners and sustained by the reviews here, we'll keep watching beyond episode 2.

Something about it just feels too unrealistic and disjointed, other than the need to be nekkid at least once per episode, for a sustainable series. It's almost amateur-ish in the production feel to me. But I'm no expert.

Continue on, we will.

We're living with our daughter, her husband, and their two little girls for the time being. Maybe I'll watch it at night on the laptop after the girls have gone to bed.

wtf. Why rehash an old plot twist???



"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.

Just finished watching season 1, binged the last three episodes. Pretty good. I was late to plugging into this series, even though I’m a diehard LeCarre fan. I’ll go on to season 2 in the near term.
Fun Easter Egg, LeCarre was the diner Hiddleston assuaged after Corky had his meltdown in a restaurant…..

Sadly, same here.

I'm a huge fan of the first season. I've seen it three or four times now, and it's fantastic, even with repeat viewing.

Unfortunately, the second season has yet to grab me. I'm a little over 3 episodes in, and something's just off. It doesn't have the same pull as Season 1. I don't hate it, but it's a far cry from the first season. Even the "twists" are easily anticipated.

It's been a slog getting this far, but I'm going to finish the season. I'm just disappointed. Perhaps it will get better, but it doesn't sound like that's the case.

Prior to Season 2, I would have said The Night Manager was one of my Top 10 favorite TV shows of all time. Now, not so much.

Maybe I'll just pretend that it has only one season, like I do with True Detective. Big Grin

only 6 episodes for Season 2, and as mentioned, a bit disappointing,

however, season 3 is in the works and will only be about 2 yrs out

Okay, I just finished Season 2. It does get better in the second half, but still not as good as Season 1.

I'll be tuning in for Season 3. Hopefully they can pull it off and at least make the entire arc worthy of the first season.

We binged season 3 and it’s good but you have to pay attention or you’ll be lost.

Just finished watching season #2, watchable enough, but left with some odd sense of disappointment.

I think the problem is no one ever seems to know if these series are going to end or be renewed.

That's not the case here.

What is now "Season 1" was made as a self-contained standalone miniseries back in the mid-2010s.

~10 years later, when it was decided to make more, both Season 2 and Season 3 were greenlit at the same time.

They designed a story arc that would continue on from the existing Season 1, and carry over from Season 2 to Season 3, to be wrapped up at the end of Season 3.

So no uncertainty there.

I am not seeing anything about season 3 on Prime.

Season 3 is still in production. Won't be released for another couple years. Expected late 2027 or early 2028.

Loved it. And recommended highly.
