This is a min series damatization of a John Le Carre thriller. It is well written, well acted, and the tension is just right (which means that it was too much for me, but just about right for those who like that sort of thing. I have more of an approach avoidance relationship with it myself).The story goes that Jonathan Pine is the night manager at an upscale hotel in Cairo. He did two tours in Afghanistan and has basically lost his interest in the things that most people love. So he instead fulfills the wishes of the rich and famous. Up until he gets involved with a guest who feeds him information about an international arms dealer, who then ends up brutally murdered.
That pisses him off, and when he is recruited by British intelligence he snaps up the undercover bad boy role, and suffice it to say, most of it goes about as well as can be expected, with some unprofessional entanglements aside. Streaming on Amazon Prime, and well worth watching.
