The Night Manager

Laurie (Veep) is the bad guy every one wants caught except for those who are on his payroll. Hiddleston (High-Rise) is undercover seeking revenge. Like all Le Carre novels the characters all have multiple names and/or identities which makes keeping track of conversations next to impossible. Things become so convoluted and interwoven that after three episodes I couldn't take it any more. I didn't care about any of the characters. They all seem to fall in love at the drop of a hat - they never think they are being set up when things fall into place just as new people come into their lives. All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you love Le Carre novels - then go for it.
