The Night Of

If we find out at the end the Tutor did kill the girl then I will be annoyed with the beginning narrative. The way they portray the dude is a nice nerdy guy that comes from a really nice loving family. They make it seem like everything about that night was out of character for him, from taking his Dad's Taxi to engaging with the dead chick. Not to mention how he wakes up and freaks out when he finds the body. If he ends up being the killer it will be terrible hamfisted writing.

I really hope that he truly did not do it and it ends up being a story about Turturro's Character (a shitty attorney). A shitty attorney that has kinda given up hope/faith in the legal system who probably also has a messed family life, that overcomes air tight evidence to prove this kid's innocence. I hope the drama is in the fact that you think he is screwed but somehow someway Turturro gets him off.

I did enjoy the 1st episode I just hope it does not go too Hollywood and if this kid suddenly turns into Edward Norton from Primal Fear I will be disappoint!

Just watched it. This looks like it could be really good! I am going to bet that Nasir (Tutor) didn't do it. Not only would it be hamfisted writing. It would also be deceptive TV.

They have shown us that he was totally perplexed by the situation. To have that all be an act within an act would just be fucking bad. Drug induced blackout rage is also stupid.

Ick. Lets hope it focuses on the Lawyer and his inner thoughts though. I don't need some weird twists like that. Just good actual writing.

Yeah we just watched it on go. It's good, looking forward to the full season. You have to allow for the fact the main kid is dumb and the hilarious series of events that lead up to his arrest, but now that the stage is set in interested to see where it goes.

Should be 8 episodes, although the BBC show it was based on is only 5. The HBO version is supposedly pretty beat for beat adaptation, so not sure where the extra time comes from. May watch it while waiting, but not sure.
