"What a pleasure it is to be seduced and The Night Manager is just about the most seductive show on television. The palatial houses and swish hotels; the expensive suits and crisp shirts (does anyone wear a button-up better than Tom Hiddleston?); all the beautiful people with their beautiful faces, elegantly stabbing one another in the back. The first season aired 10 years ago an entirely different world so when it was announced that a second season was coming, my first thought was: was:"
"If you haven't revisited The Night Manager since 2016, here are the pertinent points: Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston), a night manager in a Cairo hotel, weaseled his way into the rarefied world of arms dealer Richard Onslow Roper (Hugh Laurie), AKA the worst man in the world, under the direction of Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), who ran a British intelligence operation."
The Night Manager presents lavish settings, expensive clothing, and attractive characters who betray one another with elegant malice. The first season originally aired a decade ago in a markedly different world. Jonathan Pine, a night manager in a Cairo hotel, infiltrated the inner circle of arms dealer Richard Onslow Roper under direction from Angela Burr, a British intelligence operative. Pine posed as a loyal henchman, seduced Roper's girlfriend, sabotaged an arms deal and stole $300 million while Roper suffered violent retribution. John le Carré observed that the season ended well for Roper, noting his enduring charm and the mystery in Pine's eyes. The second season leaned on those characters' rivalry and seductive style.
