The Night Of (HBO)

#1 Post by blackcoffee » Tue Sep 06, 2016 2:52 pm

Did I miss a thread for this? Wife and I loved this show. It was devastating. What's interesting about it is that novelist Richard Price was the writer for the show, and while I always struggled with his novels I think he does a lot to make this feel authentic. Authentic NYC--and there is a quality in some of the characters that reminds me of 1970s crime dramas.

And John Turturro was superb.

I enjoyed it quite a bit as well, it was an interesting look at the justice system in the US but I read it was based on a show from the UK

Thanks art

Just watched first episode - compelling stuff but had me sitting uncomfortably all through it
