Review: AMC's The Night Manager

By Henry Hanks

Henry Hanks spent 11 years at CNN, covering a wide variety of topics for the network's website, with special focus on pop culture.

It’s the year 2011 and the “Arab Spring” has begun in Cairo, Egypt. Guests at a nearby hotel are panicking and desperate to leave, and mild-mannered hotel manager Jonathan Pine must take charge of making sure all are safe in the midst of the chaos.

Thus begins the critically acclaimed miniseries “The Night Manager,” with “Avengers” star Tom Hiddleston portraying Pine. It’s based on the novel by John le Carre, formerly of MI6.
