The Night Manager': Very Good Spy vs. Really Bad Guy

Glossy and engaging, The Night Manager is a spy romance featuring Tom Hiddleston (Loki in Thor) and Hugh Laurie (House in House) trying to out-do each other in projecting silky menace. The six-part miniseries, premiering on AMC Tuesday night, is based on the 1993 John le Carre novel of the same name, updated that so we viewers don’t have to strain our pretty little heads with annoying stuff like, you know, history. Hiddleston plays Jonathan Pine, Iraq war veteran turned night manager of a Cairo hotel when he’s enlisted in the British spy game by Angela Burr (Broadchurch’s Olivia Colman).
