Feel like watching this is a waste of my time. So many good series out there and this is simply filled with cliches, For a supposedly smart guy the main guy does some pretty stupid things. The background of the characters feel shallow. The quirky lawyer with weird attributes and a skin condition. It feels like they've taken the guide book how to write a tv series and followed it with random choices.Save your time and watch something good like Better call Saul.

Being a huge Sopranos fan and tending to compare everything, no matter the genre, to the one of the most praised TV series, I struggled for years to find something in the same ballpark at least. 'The Night Of' deliveres in every single aspect - great story and script (attention to the smallest details), superb acting from John Turturo, Riz Ahmed and Michael K Williams and great character development. I can't wait for season 2!

Very captivating, great story telling, interesting characters.Love the settings and atmosphere of a very dark NY.To me same quality level of the best among the best of TV series which are Fargo and True Detective (season 1).Totally recommended!

A mild mannered, young man 'Naz' takes his father's cab to head to a House Party, en route he encounters a mysterious, attractive girl. Captivated by her, Has heads back to her place, where the two make out. Was!into up several hours later, Has discovers she's been killed, terrified he runs off, but is soon picked up by the Police.The question is, did her or didn't he?This is the art of storytelling at its finest, as a story, it's not exactly unique, but the way it's told, the way it unravels, the realism, that feels unique.Riz Ahmed is a revelation as Naz, brilliant from the first scene to the last, I believed every aspect of the character, he had an innocence and a sincerity that was crucial for the role. The transformation in his character throughout was amazingly played out. You'd struggle to recognise Naz in the last from the first episode.I loved John Turtutrro and his character John Stone, a superb performance, he made John so interesting, his eczema/psoriasis gave him a unique side story.I won't pretend to know a great deal about the American legal and penal service, but I think what the writer was trying to show was that you put a shy kid into the prison service, and he'll come out of it worse then when he went in.I can think of no negatives whatsoever, possibly only the ambiguity at the end, did he do it or not? I think I it was made 99% clear that he was innocent, but I'm sure a second series will reply explore.The Night of is fantastic 10/10
