terrible... so disappointed.

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Blistering performances.

Literally transformative. Riz Ahmed is spectacular and you want him to get justice.

I've never seen something told at this pace and yet be this gripping. After watching the first episode, I was sure I wouldn't be able to resist. The little things portrayed in this show are what makes it stand out from the crowd of detective or thriller shows. The acting and the background music just add to it.

At first it seems a classic whodunit. But then, it quickly becomes clear that this isn't that at all. The character developments are brilliant and the performances put in by the cast are incredible.

Recent years have seen me moving from watching series with crime-per- episode to (mini)series you are recommended to watch in succession, as multiple flashbacks, sidelines and altering events would otherwise hinder to understand what is really going on and why. The Night Of is another good example of them, including different venues and character changes, enabling to create witty contrasts and contradictions, e.g. between home, prison and courtroom.Indeed, the biggest value here are characters and performances, leading with John Turturro as John Stone (particularly the mix of tragic and comic) and Riz Ahmed as Nasir "Naz" Khan (particularly his transformation from a mild independent boy to a tough dependent guy); their skills and versatility are always visible, although the number of scenes with them together is not so big. On the other hand, Bill Camp as Dennis Box was just okay, nothing special - or perhaps it was the intent to create an "ordinary", rather static character; the share of clichés here was the biggest.In general, the plot is logical and versatile, but some scenes a bit "naive" to me as an experienced viewer; I would have liked to ponder on and over till the final moments whether Raz was really guilty or not, but the answer was clear to me in Episode 1 already. Another issue that amazes me - is the hierarchy in US prisons still so "open" and widespread?As I have not seen the earlier UK version called Criminal Justice, I do not intend to delve into the debate on how the original one is better because "it always is". In this case, I liked the US version a lot. As I did with The Wire, where Richard Price was a co-writer as well.
