Eight-part crime drama starring John Turturro and Riz Ahmed. New York student Naz (Ahmed) embarks on a wild night out with a mysterious woman after picking her up in his dad's cab. The next morning he finds her stabbed to death in his bed. With no recollection of the previous night's events, Naz flees the scene but is quickly brought in by the city's police and identified as the main suspect for the victim's murder. After he is denied a legal representative, defence lawyer John Stone (Turturro) steps in to help Naz prove his innocence. As he awaits prosecution on Rikers Island, Naz adapts to the politics of life on the inside while his legal team try to piece together what happened on the night of the crime. (Warner Bros.

Reviews of this series by the user Marigold (1)

The Night Of (2016) 

English Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? But what can happen to you in the meantime before doubts are admitted / dispelled? The oppressive to suffocating atmosphere of the series, which notices the "blind spots" of justice, is one of the experiences of the year. The Night Of is not only an impressive drama about a sharp turning point in life and one personal transformation - it is also a procedural view of how repression can awaken the instincts of a predator in a seemingly peaceful human being. A series in which everyone is a bit of a prisoner in a world suffering from incurable eczema. And the liberating performance of John Turturro. ()
