Well. What did everyone make of that? Opening for a new series, obviously, but a horrible ending.

Angela’s probably not dead, will rise again for Series 3.

The little girl’s dad must be around somewhere.

I've got all the Le Carrés and I'm pretty sure that I've read The Night Manager.
Full disclosure I can't remember any of it and that's an indictment of me not the book or the author.
I love a good spy story so devoted to the late author.

Enjoyed it, despite some lame plot fails. Hugh Laurie is fantastic as a baddie. Scared me!

This should have a spoiler alert!

We haven’t watched the final one yet!

If anyone wasn’t something really excellent to replace your Sunday evening fix try Tehran on Apple TV.

I second the recommendation for" Tehran " which is another cracking thriller.
To any fans of Billy Bob Thornton try " Landman". I bullied the OH into paying £15 foe Season 1 and it does not disappoint.
It's about the Oil Industry in America,
As a massive sweetener also on the cast list is Madmen's John Hamm. Appreciably older but still catnip to the hormones.

Who knew Bertie Wooster could be this bad??
Laurie is excellent as a baddie.

Didn't think much of this series at all, quite boring and a little confusing in places. First series was so good, this was a let down.

I hope so because series 2 took too long. I completely forgot what series 1 was about, except Teddy was in it.

The series started off a bit slow, until Hugh Lawrie and Olivia Coleman joined in. But the ending was awful, why did the bad guys win? I know they're planning another series so they had to keep HL alive, but even so. Not sure if I'll watch any more.

It reflects real life!

Edge of your seat stuff, just what I like.

I’m still watching, having only just binged watched series one. Loving it, but very nerve wracking. So I’ve not seen the ending as yet!
