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. Home Entertainment)

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%.
