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)

The Night Of (2016)
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%.
