From creators Steven Zaillian and Richard Price, THE NIGHT OF is an eight-part limited series that delves into the intricacies of a fictitious murder case in New York City. The story follows Naz Khan, an adorably nerdy student who gets invited to a party in New York's Lower East Side by a basketball player he tutors. When his ride falls through at the last minute, Naz takes his father's cab without asking and drives from his home in Jackson Heights, Queens, into Manhattan. A beautiful young woman gets into the cab and asks for a ride, derailing his plans and beginning the fateful evening of the title. Naz is later accused of a crime he says he didn't commit, and he experiences the disorganization and manipulation of the legal system from the inside. His plight is further influenced by his appearance and status as the son of Pakistani immigrants. PART 1: A Pakistani-American college student seeks legal representation after being implicated in a NYC murder. (HBO Europe)

Zweifelsfrei schuldig? Was allerdings kann Ihnen in der Zwischenzeit passieren, bevor man Zweifeln überhaupt Platz einräumt/oder diese zerstreut werden? Die bedrückende wenn nicht gar erstickende Atmosphäre der Serie, welche auch den "blinden Flecken" der Justiz verschafft, gehört zu den Filmerlebnissen des Jahres. The Night Of - Die Wahrheit einer Nacht stellt nicht nur ein beeindruckendes Drama über einen scharfen Wendepunkt im Leben und eine ganz persönliche Transformation dar, sondern auch einen prozeduraler Anblick, wie repressive Elemente in einem scheinbar friedlichen Menschen die Instinkte eines Raubtiers erwecken können. Es ist eine Serie, in welcher alle gewissermaßen gefangen sind in einer Welt, die an einem unheilbarem Ekzem leidet. Und die Leistung von John Turturro wirkt regelrecht befreiend.

HBO gave the world another great TV show. A show that offers the interesting story of a guy whose world went topsy-turvy overnight. But he was lucky enough that he met a bunch of people who want to put the effort in and do something about his life. And these people put in absolutely perfect acting performances, including the guy. You see, Riz Ahmed presents a model change of his character from a humble and shy Pakistani boy into a tough convict who is not scared even of the toughest black guy. But John Turturro portrays an excellent character as well, who was doing a great job in the main plotline, but I also liked his sad secondary plotline involving the sad and unfortunate chick. And the show offers similar complex plotlines including the police investigator, the promising lawyer and also the other lawyer who is the public prosecutor. You see this show will get everybody with its honesty, ordinariness, incredible realism, humanity and mainly it asks the question what is the value of life and how little is needed for each and every personto start seeing it completely differently that they have in their life so far. An amazing show, and although it is a court-room drama, I wasn’t bored for even a minute.

An excellent experience that practically has no weaknesses. In the overwhelming majority of watched movies, and especially series, I find reasons for partial criticism. Here, however, when it comes to criticism, I essentially have nothing to say and, in fact, only superlatives come to mind. The script, cast, direction... well, all of it deserves praise. Even if I give a series the highest grade, I almost never have an irresistible urge to watch the next episode immediately, and I say goodbye to the series characters with a clear conscience, knowing that we will meet again in two days. But here, I felt like taking this thrilling ride in one go. Until the very last moment, it remains a surprising and immensely well-thought-out matter that combines three subgenres - classic crime, courtroom drama, and prison drama. All the settings and characters look convincing, and I didn't notice any false notes. Simply put, the series is craftsmanship of the highest quality. Overall impression: 100%.

If you read the Storyline, you’ve spoiled the first episode for yourself… Having a bad day? A perfect illustration of the environment supported by realistic dialogs in a slow drama about one very strange murder. After watching the first episode, my expectations are very high. The unobtrusive beginning leads to a psychological whirl in the hands of the police. Who, why, how, me? I look forward to what happens next… In the end, something between a court and prison drama, interspersed with treating eczema on Turturro’s feet. HBO means quality and detailed investigation – from several different directions – engrosses you and thanks to the excellent cast, does not let go. Whether you are watching Michael Kenneth Williams ruling an entire prison or John Turturro buying up an entire pharmacy. There is also humor, but also levity, but the judicial machinery is depressing, crushing and fundamentally built on bad intentions. Here and there, humanity prevails, but so what? Riz Ahmed does a great job and his transformation is convincing. Balanced, sophisticated.

A high-quality procedural courtroom drama from HBO that certainly has nothing to be ashamed of. This project involved very well-known names, including screenwriter Steven Zaillian, who has previously contributed to many successful films. The Night Of, as an eight-part series, definitely hinges on the performance of its lead actor, Riz Ahmed. He portrayed his character in an incredibly convincing manner, to the point where it’s chilling; an outstanding performance in every respect. However, I must admit that another character captured my heart even more. John Turturro was the central ace of the series for me; his lawyer had his heart in the right place. The subplot revolving around him was meticulously crafted down to the last detail. As for the story and plot, the first episode was probably the best for me; its conclusion was almost heart-stopping. Overall, while it offers a slower pace, this aspect didn’t significantly bother me in the end. What kept it from a perfect rating was that I needed a slightly better ending (although Turturro’s final speech to the jury was wonderfully written and performed). Still, it is a series with strong acting that you should not miss on HBO under any circumstances. For me, it’s 8/10.
