WOW!
I am looking forward to the rest of it, so no spoilers please!
However, I'm wondering if there are others who watched it and liked it?
I Tom Hiddleston. He's good in everything I've ever seen him in.

(36,827 posts)I don't watch much TV and it has to be something good before I will tune in. I do like the mini-series format in general.
I'm looking forward to the last two episodes. I've found it quite good so far.

It's a co-production with the BBC.

(22,434 posts)you are watching the future James Bond.
I have rooted for Clive Owen for over a decade, but now
I've changed my mind....Hiddleston could change the franchise.

(12,132 posts)but after watching the Night Manager I certainly can. I thought he was too small but I no longer think that. He's still pretty small but he's just got such force in his personality it doesn't matter.
On the other hand, my daughter will be crushed if the next Bond isn't Idris Elba and I hate to see her disappointed. I'm happily watching either one regardless. (lol, of course, it could still be someone else...but either of those two are fine by me)

(12,132 posts)but have them all on DVR. We LOVE it. Loki and House sold me on trying it but watching it was even better than all my (pretty high) expectations.

(27,115 posts)Had us on the edge of our seats for all six episodes and had a super finale.
Highly recommended!!
There is a lot of violence and some nudity and sex.
But, it was all part of the story and not gratuitous.
Watch it if you like suspense thrillers!!!!!
