"The Night Manager", a 6-part LeCarre spy thriller.

Posted by free.ranger on June 26, 2016 at 23:36:07:
Originally carried by AMC on television, this one should be available by now from other sellers.

A spectacular story, with Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie, as the respective good and bad guy. Hiddleston (Loki in the Thor movies) is a quiet study type (opposite his Loki persona) who has been planted into Laurie's closed circle to bring him down. Hugh plays a big time international arms supplier; Hiddleston is a mole for British intelligence.

The story line is very subtle in true LeCarre fashion, with many twists, subtle relationship developments, lucky (and unlucky) coincidences, and many head games. If you are a fan of his books, this movie series will not dissapoint. So far (4 episodes viewed), there are no gunshots, car chases, or superheroes, yet it has held attention and anticipation of what's next. Linear in development; no gaping holes in the plot, building to a climax that looks like it will time itself with the last episode.

Hiddleston is the rumored next Bond. Try to find this series. Although I haven't seen all 6 episodes yet, I give this an enthusiastic recommendation.
