I just watched the first episode of "The Night Manager"

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.

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.

And after that smooth and elegant production, she is now rumored as possible director for the next 007 film, maybe with Tom Hiddleston as the spy. Se also her earlier films Brothers and In A Better World.

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.

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)

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.

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!!!!!

is that now it's over. I want more. I confess to a certain amount of greed.
