Deepening Pine's Trauma

It’s The Pop Culture Professors, and we analyze the first three episodes of The Night Manager, season two.

We look into the ideologies (and views on ideology) that underpin the series, and consider the extent to which the Pine character, cycling endlessly from one identity to the next, is a hero for our post-truth age.
