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)
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.
