The Night Of

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2401256/


Anyone else watching? Really good series. I came across it by random, surprised it isn't more popular.

Yea this show is one of if not the best out right now.

Funny how nasir thuggin now, hand tats, smoking h, after a couple months in rickers. Turned out by the system guilty or not

damn dunno how i didn't hear about this, this type of show is my jam.

is it available on amazon prime (or when will it be?)

Yeah really great show, shame there's only one more episode.

They didnt market it very well and the commercials failed to describe what it was even about. Heck I think I only tuned in to see what John Turturro was up to cuz you know, Rounders. That, and HBO always delivers of course. But yeah show is down right amazing, a shame it's only 7 or 8 episodes long. I love how absolutely nothing has been exposed for the audience yet, mother fucker could still be guilty after all this time.

I only watched the first episode and thought it was really cheesy and stupid

Guess I should give it another go?

TIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAY- The first episode doesn't accurately portray the shows themes. Lahey and I look forward to this more than ballers and vice principals.

Really interesting to watch how quickly con college can turn a kid into a savage. The first episode almost makes it look like its going to be CSI or law and order but ive been captivated by the direction they've taken. The fact that hes Muslim/Pakistani feels like its only one of deciding the factors. They aren't smashing it over your head, which I expected them to do.

The "expert" witnesses that will corroborate either side of an argument. Watching all these cogs work for their own self-interest, at the expense of a kid has been great to watch.

Snatch balls of heroin so gross.

Was that guy a mortician? Whatever his profession hes super sketch.

What the hell was wrong with Knish's feet??

Just watched last ep. This shit is incredible.

Knish has eczema

Lol thats the only thing i dislike about the show. Not sure why there is so much emphasis on his eczema. who cares.

It's great,

doubt anybody could see where it was going (still not sure) after first 2 or 3 episode,

where the hell are they going with this, lol

I noticed they are starting to employ more flashbacks from the perspective of Nasir, as if he is starting to regain his memory of that night.

Yup, drugs.

Freddy and detective know who rly killed her.

Pakistan lawyer will lose her job for kissing naz.

Naz will be freed next episode.

Thing about Naz is like Freddy asked, "Did you even like life outside of prison anyway?" What does it mean to be free now after this whole ordeal. It's not like he's happy or excited to enter the world and all of its bullshit.

I don't think the lawyer will lose her job and I thought it was interesting and realistic of the way we start falling for people we are trying to protect/defend.

I actually think the perfect ending would be to just leave it all in limbo. Have us basically be a surrogate jury member. Have all these other murderer's in play and not really know what to think. I hope the show ends with something along the lines of "Will the defendent please rise? The jury finds Nasir Khan ____" and goes to mute and just shows an ambiguous face on Nasir.

Anyway this show has done a phenomenal job showing what a coin flip going to court actually is. I loved all the small fleshed out detail from Jack stone's eczema and his empty relationships to a glimpse of what it's like to be middle eastern in a post 9/11 america and the heartbreak and uncertainty of potentially being the mother of a killer.

watching ep 8 now; nasir adding a neck tat LOL

Pretty good ending, nothing cheesy, didnt insult our intelligence, and leaves a perfectly good door open for season 2

U think so? I dont see how they do a season two without either falling off a cliff or doing it anthology style with a whole new cast/story.

This story was basically completely wrapped up for me and nicely at that. You might think there is some story left in going after the killer but i disagree. They told us he did it; who cares to see the trial of a guy who wouldnt even be a protagonist.

Sure I feel the series is fine if they completed it now, but I'm pretty sure the whole "ok lets get him" line was meant to say "we're doing a season 2". It might not take off since it basically involves a completely new story, but I still liked the CSI guy and defense lawyer characters well enough that I think they have a solid role for a sequel.

There is a 0% chance of s2.

And the messy ending is kind of the point. Who care's about yesterday's murder cases? The legal system doesn't care about finding the right criminal. And while Naz didn't murder Andrea he definitely is capable of hurting people after his involvement with freddy.
