the Night manager is so good.  I can describe it without spoilers so just watch it and thank me later.

I watched the first episode on demand last night. I've read the book (big Le Carre fan) so no need to worry about spoilers. Seems well made, well cast, and true to the spirit of the book even if the setting has been updated.

It has driven home how shark on demand tv is in NZ though. Stuttering crap in Chrome and even (shudder) IE. Won't play in Firefox at all. And I've got super fast cable so not my internet connection at fault. When the ads come up they kind of make the whole thing shark out too, putting audio out of sync and things like that. TVNZ's system is just as bad. 

Quasi-legal streaming sites in post-Soviet wastelands can get streaming video right but apparently it's beyond our tv companies.
