I did think it was odd that there'd be a printed invoice of all of this arms dealing business, but that's probably a throwback to when the novel was published 20 years ago and a paper trail might be more plausible. Love Hiddleston and Laurie, so I'm suspending disbelief.

Seemed to me the show started too soon without much explanation of what we were suppose to be following from the start , bad things happened too soon without a head up on the plot, although I'm a bit slow getting into things , I have to come on here to get things explained to me sometimes

Same here. I am a bit confused, and I have not missed any of it.
I'm confused too - good to know I'm not alone. But the production . . . the visuals . . . the views . . .fantastic! That will keep me coming back even if I'm lost in the storyline.
Yeah . . . the baby's father is Tom Quince? And that's one of Pine's aliases? Somebody help us out here! I hope it becomes clear as we go along through the next four episodes.
I am watching this because I like Hugh Laurie. Hopefully Forman and Cuddy will make appearances. The depiction of Laurie as a high profile philanthropist super villain seems cartoonish, but I will give it some time.
List of things I am confused about:
1. Why spend so much of the first episode on his working as the night manager in Eygyt, and why name the show the night manager, when it has little to do with the Roper plot? Perhaps the arms guy will make a reappearance.
2. Did the plan to catch Roper begin before or after Pine met Roper in the Alps?
3. Why did Pine/Jack London need to bully that guy in the machine shop in Ireland?
4. What exactly did he do in Ireland to become an international fugitive? Or is the international fugitive story something the Spys constructed? If it is something the spys made up, then why live in Ireland?
I'm a bit confused as well, but MI6 had to create a backstory for Tom HIddleston so that when Roper's people ran a background check, he'd come up as a shady person running from the law who'd be an awesome member of the crew because of his lack of ethics. Something like that. Roper already likes Pine, so he needs proof that he's not a goody-two shoes.

And there going to have to torture him for additional proof he's a baddie .

I can understand Roper and his thugs being suspicious of Pine/alias. But it makes no sense to me why they threaten him while he is recovering in bed. Presumably Roper is keeping Pine around because he wants to recruit him to work for him, else they would have just left him in a hospital with a nice reward. To me the threats and harassment would seem to be more likely to discourage someone that did not have an alternative motive, than it would someone that did have an alternative motive.
