Season one came out in 2016 and I saw that season two is out now! I heard about it on DCUM and it’s been recommended randomly through the years. Tom Hiddleston (aka Loki) stars as the night manager.
Jonathan Pine, night manager of a luxury hotel in Cairo and former British soldier, is recruited by Angela Burr, the manager of a Foreign Office task force investigating illegal arms sales, to infiltrate the inner circle of arms dealer Richard Roper. |

I absolutely loved the ending of season one. The last few scenes...
spoilers.... Roper's downfall and anger. Olivia Coleman's delight. Haven't had time to start the new one but I'm excited. |

| I think Tom Hiddleston is a good actor but I absolutely can't stand his cheesy smile. |

It’s been ten years how do we remember what happened? Is season 2 independent of season 1 |

I just finished rewatching season one so I could start season 2. Season one was good. I love Olivia Colman! Some minor issues with season one, spoilers: Pine falls for Sophia and Jed - really?? Would Angela be able to fly off to Egypt so late in her pregnancy? |

I loved Season One. So many great characters. Tom Hiddleston was so smooth and confident and not in a way that made me attracted to him, just found it compelling. Olivia Colman, as always, just so good.
Richard Roper was so entertaining and over the top. So bad but so vulnerable in regards to his son. Corky, crazy bad/good. The uncovering-the-truth plot points (execution) were really well done. FF to Season 2. I have just started Ep2 and I can barely get through it. TH is 10 years older and isn't nearly as smooth and confident, imo, as he was in S1. He seems almost self conscious. The storyline is very much one dimensional. Get the bad guys, where S1 had so many side stories between the characters making it multidimensional. Basically, disappointed, and I have been looking forward to this since I heard they were making S2. |

I completely agree on both points. But I think when one is truly engaged, it is easy to forgive. It reminds me of back in the day when we actually read real books. Coming across a plot hole and the proverbial throwing the book at the wall (wallbanger) only to run across the room to snatch up the book to find out what happens next. |

I haven't gotten far, but there is some correlation between the seasons, but not a lot. They tell you what the correlation is. That said, I rewatched S1 before starting S2. |
