In addition to the Night Manager (2016) with Hugh Laurie's skillful (and very scary) portrayal of a weapon's dealer, there was also BBC's version of the Little Drummer Girl (2018) based on John le Carré's novel with the same name. If you like John le Carré adaptions, both are highly recommended!
It's sad that he's gone, his novels are masterpieces, especially the later ones like the Constant Gardener in which he addressed topics that go beyond what's usual in spy novels.
- larrywright 6y agoThe Night Manager was a great series, and I’m glad I’m not the only one who found Hugh Laurie absolutely terrifying in that.
- Angostura 6y agoI thought Tom Hollander was similarly excellent, playing against type to be scary.
- cguess 6y agoHis was the most interesting character in the series I thought. The most unsure, the most to lose should things turn against him. Unlike the other characters he had no out, no one or not enough money to make an exit with if necessary.

- sharadov 6y agoAs a huge fan of Hugh Laurie, I loved the Night Manager. I know they were planning to extend the series..
