    The Night Manager

    I've recently acquired this set (first season--don't know if there'll be another) on a friend's recommendation. I liked the book quite a bit (I'm a big Le Carré fan) and I look forward to having time to go through it (been a crazy busy semester so far). Anyone watched this? Thoughts? (try to avoid spoilers)

    Excellent! It watches like a 6 hour movie. I read that two movie studios both failed to make this book into a movie. So BBC and AMC decided to make it into a mini series to allow for enough time to do the book justice.

      Sounds great--and there are so many book adaptations that would benefit from a miniseries treatment in this fashion. Looking forward to finding the time to watch this.

        Yup, a very good series. Six one-hour episodes. I can't imagine there will be a second series as the story had run its course, but who knows?

          I've seen a couple so far and I vote excellent. Hope it stays that way to the end.

            Finished the series. Outstanding. Hiddleston would make an excellent Bond after Craig, if he so desires.
