Night Manager season 1 was excellent.

I was less impressed with season 2.

All the right pieces — but to me it seemed they tried too hard. Perhaps a bit more humour would help.

Set eight to ten years after the events of the first season, Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) is living a quiet life as “Alex Goodwin,” a low-level MI6 surveillance officer in London. His peace is shattered by a chance encounter with a mercenary from his past, pulling him into a new mission in Colombia. 

• The Mission: Pine must infiltrate the operation of Colombian arms dealer Teddy Dos Santos, who is smuggling weapons to train a private guerrilla army intended to overthrow the Colombian government.
• The Twist: A major mid-season revelation confirms that Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie) is still alive, having faked his death in Egypt. He has been rebuilding his empire from Colombia and was the true mastermind behind Teddy’s operation.
