Who is watching The Night Manager?

Sal

I have been watching this avidly. I have only seen up to Episode 5 out of 8 (I know in the UK it is 6 longer episodes) so no spoilers please!!

I love:

Hugh Laurie's jolly worst man in the world
Tom Hiddleston as a suave and inscrutable man (with real style)
The style of Elizabeth Debricki as Jed. I am very close to getting my hair cut like hers.
Tom Hollander and Olivia Colman - fabulous actors.
The locations.

For those who do not know, it is an adaptation of a John Le Carre. While I am not sure I believe it all, I am soaking it all up!!

Just saw a preview or commercial for it tonight while watching something else. I forwarded through it but it did register as something mildly interesting. And yes to her hair. It would absolutely work on you given the kind of hair you have - lucky duck

I didn't know it was based on a LeCarre novel, but now that I do.....I'll definitely check it out.

It is good Xtabay. Check it out.

Lisa- I want her figure face and wardrobe too. But not her life so no trade;)

Ooh, thanks for the tip, Sally! And I agree with Lisa, I can totally see that haircut working for you.

I hadn't heard of this (I live under a TV rock) but now I want to watch it!

OH. I LOVE watching compelling TV shows (just watched Season 1 of Fargo), and this is now on my radar. Thanks, Sally. YES, get your hair cut like that!

Angie - based on shows you have enjoyed previously I think you will love the show.

Diana - I also have missed a few shows - I need to track down the first episodes of Billions as I have heard that is a good one.

Rachylou - Hugh Laurie is a great actor. From Blackadder, to Jeeves and Wooster, to House, Mr Pip (based on great NZ novel) to this one, he is always worth watching.

Aliona - I hope you enjoy it.

While I am quite enjoying my messy bob, and always struggle with my hair getting too two toned when it is very short at the back. But I will call my stylist prior to my next appointment and see what she thinks. I do have a wide face but then so does the actress. I am hankering after it and really thinking strongly about a bit of a change. My hair is the right type of hair for the style.

Good to know, Sally.

FWIW, my hair is deliberately two-toned to add some edge. I don't highlight the back at all - only the front and a small portion of the top. Granted, I am a natural ash blonde and not a brunette. But there is still quite a difference and I love that, actually.

Thanks Angie, I think my hair is darker, more dark blonde/mouse. I was very blonde as a child but my roots are pretty dark....But I prefer being blonde now

I hope you enjoy the show Deb - let me know. It has been huge in the UK I know.

I just finished Episode 1, it was fantastic but very stressful to watch. I can't wait for more. It's blond Loki! I couldn't really see Tom Hiddleston as Bond, but I'm getting closer now.
