I found season 2 to be on the same level as season 1: good script, good acting, good plot twists, nothing better or worse than season 1, which is difficult nowadays, as season 2 tend to be worse than season 1 in 90% of cases. I just didn't like Angela Burr's death. Looking forward to season 3.

The second season of The Night Manager carries a weight that is difficult to ignore: the return of a series that has become a benchmark in the Prime Video catalog and which, since its debut, has been widely praised for combining espionage, drama, and strong emotional involvement. However, unlike the first year, this new phase comes without a literary work by John le Carré as its basis, which completely changes the starting point of the narrative. Free from the original text, but also bereft of it, the series now depends exclusively on David Farr's writing, and that is precisely where its greatest weaknesses begin to appear.What unfolds throughout the season is a work that tries to move forward but hesitates. It wants to expand its scale but loses intimacy. It wants to reinvent itself but ends up resorting to nostalgia. The result is a season that is competent in terms of entertainment but clearly inferior to the first, especially when we analyze its emotional construction and narrative **** second season of The Night Manager is, above all, a hesitant work. It entertains, has strong moments, and finds in Tom Hiddleston its main narrative, dramatic, and physical engine. Diego Calva also stands out when the script allows it, and the expansion of scale offers well-executed sequences within the spy genre.However, by giving up the emotional construction, intimacy, and sense of urgency that defined the first season, the series delivers something more generic and less memorable. The attempt to be new without completely breaking with the past results in a narrative that only finds its true breath when it looks back. Competent but uneven, this second season works more as a preparation for future conflicts than as a fully resolved work in itself. It's a good spy series, but a return that falls short of the impact and emotional force that once made The Night Manager stand out.

This 'inspired by John Le Carre' sequel jettisons what made the first season great and settles for a second-rate Bond clone that barely treads water for its 6 episodes. Olivia Colman and Indira Varma are woefully underused. Add to that a cliffhanger ending, and I'd be surprised if many of the first season's viewers return for the third.

Season 1 was worth a rewatch. Season 2 was a waste of time. I want my 6 hours back. I feel bad that Hugh Laurie had to deliver some of this dialogue, such as the hackneyed frog in boiling water bit.

The first season was excellent as it was bsaed on a book by John Le Carre. Season 2 is a waste of time as it adopts that incredibly annoying device used in many US shows of ending on a cliffhanager. So basically there is no point watching it any more as (like so many US shows) it will just drag on and never be resolved until the ratings plummet and nobody cares and they either just stop making any more or try to wrap it all up in some unconvincing manner in its final season.
