Lately I've been watching a lot of mini-drama series that have seemed fantastic to me because of the way they manage to summarize super intense stories in so few minutes, they are basically series that do not have any kind of filling in their plot and instead try to always go to the center of the goal, develop directly without so many preambles, something that The Night Manager does fantastically through a plot that wastes no time and instead gives us great moments full of action, drama and suspense. This is a mini-series that offers us a taste of that world of international espionage where we can see the entire process of investigation and conspiracy behind an arms dealer, a super powerful man who has managed to extend his corrupt tentacles to the depths of world politics.

This is an excellent series for those who want to see something entertaining and dramatic but not too deep and elongated, because in this series the chronology of the facts is very fast, we do not have those constant waits to see different closings in the sub-plots, here each sub-plots is developed in the foreground to conclude quickly and bring the necessary to the main plot which is the search for a way to deceive and capture an international criminal. In addition to having a careful and direct plot where events take place at an accelerated pace, we also have a fabulously constructed visual spectrum from some very particular settings that remind us of those classic scenes from the James Bond films, yes, all the setting and photography of this series is very similar to the classic films of 007, even with a plot that reminds a lot of those missions where 007 had to do all sorts of things to defeat a very charismatic but evil villain.

Basically, as I told you a moment ago this series could be defined as a 007 movie counted in 6 episodes, where the characters stand out enormously for the great argumental work behind the whole series. # [Source](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/61859-the-night-manager/images/backdrops?language=en-US) #
